Been working on this setup all spring. Bought the blower new on here in November. Started making this noise after a few street miles. Only starts making it after it has fully warmed up after reinstall. Pulled the blower TWICE and checked idlers/replaced the factory idler. Two different tensioners.. Impeller looks good.. Has to be coming from the gear box.. The part that really burns me is I emailed Vortech Warranty department and have not gotten so much as a reply in two weeks.. Good way to piss off an already mad customer.

Why don't U call Vortech-1 805 247 0226. Ask to speak to Frank Quentero.(? SP).

I'm assuming the noise stops if you disconnect the charger? Sounds like something is hitting the housing internally. Are these still direct geared models?

I was thinking oil slinger maybe.. Yes, the noise is not from the engine. I've run it without the belt momentarily just to verify.
