Likely you tensioner lost its ability to control the belt on decel. The belt and tensioner go through a very dramatic swing when under full song and shift or decel. When you accelerate hard a long pulls the belt stretches and the tensioner continues to go down taking up that slack, when you let off it swings back up to again take up slack since the belt now isn't under load. At the same time the tensioner is trying to take up that slack the Superchargers inertia is still spinning faster than the belt system that has slowed down so you end up with a chirp or squeal if the tensioner is not controlling the belt. The tensioner should be adjusted to its arm is near horizontal with the ground.Hello Guys I just got my car back from a Whipple Install and after driving around I get a very loud chirp or squeal when I let off the Throttle at high rpm in the lower gears ... Also the Supercharger seems to make rattling sound when idleing that sounds like little pebbles going around , Whipple requested a video but says it's normal and so does my mechanic!! Any help or feedback please ? Thanks
As far as the noise goes, all Whipple's make a little gear chatter when idling, and that's likely what your hearing now.
