procharger bearing sound just out of curiousity for all of the other procharger users, does your blower make a rattling bearing sound at idle/low rpm (<1000), im tryin to figure out ways to shut it up cause it sounds like garbage when i go to the track. i might just go ahead and upgrade to the d1sc but not sure what that entails if you have to send back the whole kit or the blower with some $$...so my 3 questions i guess are whats causing the noise/how do i fix it and whats required to upgrade to a d1sc?

1. it's normal
2. fix it by using the SDCE spring tensioner setup - this will also eliminate belt slip
3. send it and alot of money to procharger or sell the P1 and buy a D1 to/from an individual

Try tightening your blower belt up. A new belt requires adjustment after usage, and a lot of people forget about this.
Typically a new ATI ProCharger will make more noise for the first 500 miles than it will after it is broken in. The D-1SC won't be any quieter than the P-1SC in my opinion, but I don't normally have any abnormal noise with them, which makes me think your belt is too loose.
A P-1SC can be sent in to ATI and upgraded into a D-1SC. The blower case is the same for both superchargers from ATI ProCharger. It cost approx $1,200.00 to send in your blower for the upgrade, while it is only approx $180.00 for the D-1SC option when initially ordering the whole kit. Bob

Blackbird is dead on except possibly for number 3. I have a D1 and when I had straight pullies I had the rattle at idle. The only thing that got rid of it was the SDCE spring tensioned pulley. As far as I know that is the ONLY cure for that rattle.
