That doesn’t necessarily mean that something is wrong. Depending on what head unit it is, whistling at idle is normal. Without a sound clip it is impossible to tell.

True. Hard to say without seeing it/hearing it.

It was not a normal SC whistling at all,that was a failed bearing sound one can hear even with the hood close. The tech ask me to put my hand on the blower and I have feel something was grinding badly inside that thing. As I said on my thread the car was for my buddy and he got scared and ask for a refund on his deposit

If there is a good performance shop around or a trusted tuner have him take it there first and have it looked over. Id recommend if he buys it at the very least throw it on a dyno and make sure the tune is spot on.

That s my car you are talking about and there is no failed bearing.Your friend was given the phone number of the guy who put the set up together and was told the car was checked and that it was 100 per cent perfect.Truth be told he wanted a 2020 Vette and you cannot get one right now in Montreal.He had a change of heart and bought a new Camaro.I dont know who you went to see to check it but they obviously arent to familiar with a Vortech Blower.The guy who put the build together is one of the best in Quebec.He even told the client the car was perfect.18000 babied kilometers never floored from a dead start .One run at the track its entire life and i rolled it out you can go see the run for yourself on my channel on you tube.Never in the rain.No problem i sold it today to a friend and he said himself it is the cleanest C6 Vette out there.4lt Heritage package.Your buddies loss and my friend s gain.Hope your buddy enjoys his new Camaro.

Saw the ad myself car looks clean and low mileage can’t be many miles on the blower I don’t see how it can be blown.
