On this car the centrifugal superchargers are getting the best results over twin screw superchargers. I don't know if anyone makes a roots supercharger for this car.

The "chirp" noise is caused by the ethanol gas. I'm not sure in the US where you live, but I've been using non-ethanol. I'm around 36,000 miles now and don't get the chirp. I even had them replace the part, it came back after 150 miles. Experimented with and without ethanol in the beginning, and that is 100% what is causing it.
I have other crap I have to deal with now, just wrecked it on Saturday ;( So who knows what problems I'll get now. |

I have a 2015 put gas in it all the time that has ethanol in it without a problem. Anyone have a problem with crickets in a 2015? Just wondering if they have fixed this.

What about intake valves getting caked in carbon due to the direct injection? Anybody have any issues?

If you just got your car the temperature may not be high enough to trigger them. Also some did not develop it until driven a few thousand miles. There are loads of guys with 15s on here that say they have them so don't have much hope that they "fixed" it. I had crickets for 3 days this summer when I had to use some ethanol gas but they were gone as soon as I brunet that up and went back to Shell so I am a strong believer in the ethanol = crickets theory.
