I'm getting annoyed with this supercharger, first SC bearing failure at track (v3), followed by v2 oil return leak in the next year (still pending to be fixed), now with this squeak in 2016. Car still has under 14k miles and probably well under 7k miles with SC for god sakes..

It sure sounds bad doesn't it! It does subside quite a bit when warmed up well.
I will try a few belts if I have to before giving up = buying a honda. jk I will try the continental or bando first .. cheap enough at least.
