Kraftwerks Engine Rattle
UPDATE: It was my supercharger pulley! Thanks y'all
Hello, all. Just wanted to check in and get a few opinions on a rattle I started hearing in my engine bay a few days ago. I've attached a video with the sound. My apologies if its hard to hear, the supercharger is extremely whiny and tends to drown everything else out. If anyone can help me figure this out or confirm that it's a TCT rattle, I would really appreciate it! Thank you.

I don't think the rotrex blower typically whines that much at idle and rev does it? Makes me suspect a blower bearing issue and or too tight a belt, which can cause premature bearing failure as well, if that's whats going on.

Be very careful that you rotate the blower pulley in the same direction that the pulley would rotate with the engine running.
DO NOT ROTATE IT BACKWARD!
I know two people who got to pay the $2000 replacement price for the blower because of this.
