Just because something is bolted on doesn't means its infallible. I'm counting engine movement as a possibility because everything is vibrating each time the motor is on, and even though things are bolted down, there's an inherent amount of stress applied and an inherent level of tolerance observed before failure any part fails. To me, it seems plausible that adding extra stress and movement from a supercharger kit with a small adapter bolted into the immediate vicinity of the failed part could have brought it over the tolerance threshold. Could I be wrong? Of course! I'm not saying thats exactly what the issue was here, I'm just saying I can believe it. One thing to consider is whether the tolerance threshold is so high that any movement in that vicinity is a non-issue. I don't know, I'm not an engineer, but I can't see why I'd rule it out.
