Hi all, it’s been about two weeks since I installed OPGs on my 2015 Mustang GT with a ESS G2 supercharger.
Excellent oil pressure, oil capacity is mint.
no bogging, no issues.
however, i did notice this strange noise coming from either the pulleys or the motor. I’ve attached the video, it sounds like rotational metal sounds if that makes sense.
I do have straight cut gears and I know they make a loud metallic sound, however it just sounds a lot different than before I installed OPGs. Or i could be dramatic.

couldnt tell from your write up, but did you do both OPG and ESS at the same time or no?

No, i didn’t do it at the same time. I also wasn’t jumping the redline at all until I got the OPGs, I know you hear the whistle, but you also hear like a rotational metallic sound, it’s probably what it is sounds like but i’m just amazed at the fact I was able to do this on my own in the first place, thats kind of way i’m looking for sh!t haha

well then, if it didn’t sound like that before, but does now then you may have an issue. Videos can be deceiving, but sounds very much like my ProCharger straight cut gears with no OPGs 😉
