The bad bearing noise is normal...unfortunately It sounds REALLY bad at idle when the blower is spinning slow. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Yeah it's normal. Once you become comfortable with that fact ,it will bother you less and less.
My P1-SC was actually louder than the D1.I must have checked the oil (add a little,take out a little,looking for metal flakes)20 times when I first installed it.

Don't worry when you eventually spin that blower faster w/a smaller pulley, you'll hear the gear chatter even less <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Man, wait until you go through a drive-thru. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> That gear noise is really loud coming off the walls. That's the only time I don't like the noise. Once you get going it sounds nice.

I agree with the drive-thru comment. That is really the only place my car sounds too loud. I usually shut it off so they can hear my order! But otherwise, I simply LOVE the noise this thing makes. It just says "Not to be screwed with!"
