Hey guys so I am looking into buying this 05 Saleen but there is a nasty noise coming from right on top of the engine, I am thinking that the supercharger is hooped? It only has 18,000 km's ..I will upload this video or a link to it that I took today and hope you can hear it ok. The intercooler resevoir looks clean? When I rev it up there is also no boost registering on the guage?... Let me know what you think, thanks guys!!


i have to wait for the video to uplaod I will post it as soon as its done...

The Saleen s/c makes a nasty sound anyway especially at idle when cold.Do you know what size pulley is on it.Depending on vacuum line routing you wont see boost till WOT.

I just noticed you have an 05 Saleen,so you already know how the Saleen s/c sounds normally.

its just really growling on top basically right in the valley where the charger is... one of the mechanics at ford thinks its the charger but I dunno if he took the belt off and ran it to see if it is coming from the blower or what, I work at a ford shop as a level 1 apprentice, the senior tech's are calling the supercharger on it as needing to be replaced but as none of them nor I have really heard one run before i'm not sure? Here is a link to the video... It just doesent sund right to me man. I didn't measure the pully but I would assume its completely stock.

Take it for a ppi to a performance shop that is reputable. Ask them to also diagnose the noise and run the engine without the belt.

the noise goes away with the belt disconnected, its definitly coming from the blower. sounds like bearings or something?
