Supercharger noise problem
My MP62 SC has devloped a noise that sounds like a diesel engine is running. I have recorded the sound and if you think that it would help you help me I would be very happy to email the WAV file to you.
A little history:
2001 Miata
50K miles on car
25K miles on SC
I suspect the previous owner(PO) was a spirited driver and used the available hp as I have.
PO changed the SC internal oil 1500 miles ago.
Running 11psi max
Please PM me if you would like/need that WAV file.
Thank you.

Size is 20mm x 52mm x 7mm I replaced mine with a Viton type seal just to be doubly sure.

It's fixed
Hi All,
A thank you to all that took the time to reply; I valued all your input, expertise and wit.
I have been spared. The consensus was to replace the coupler and while there replace the bearing. Well, after removing the SC belt I noticed that the SC nose pulley was not on tight. Not by much but none the less had to be tightened. And there you have it my first repair to my newly acquired machine. The fun goes on in Western Massachusetts.
Thanks again,
Eliano
