Any noise coming from the pulley is not good. you should check the bearings. Just incase, be4 it gets worse. And cost more..

Just need an allen wrench and a couple of sockets, the bearings will be nasty and you will see it. They will not spin very nicely, the may slide off the shaft, there should be metal shavings inside of the pulley housing.

Its hard to tell whats going on just from a video, but when mine went it sounded almost exactly like that.

Once the shaft warms up the sound may stop, but I still think you have a bearing issue and should check it out.

Do you sell the bearings ill need for that pulley? Also could the belt be to tight cause this noise?

If you follow Gompka instructions on his website to take off your shaft, you can take it to your local mechanic and have him press out your bearings for around 40 bucks. Thats how much I was quoted. You can get new bearings off ebay/amazon between 20 - 60 bucks {{6205LLBC3}}. If you don't have the cash, you can use "Bill me later" and get the bearings in a week. just pay off the bearings in time.

Never knew they had bearings that cheap for the s/c lol. How long will these last ? I thought the ceramic ones where better.

no need ,, all you need to remove is the front shaft ,by removing it from the supercharger housing,
