Ok, yes, the high pitched "ticking" sound in the video is the ticking sound my car just started making...
When you bring the camera close to the supercharger there also seems to be a lower pitch "rumbling" that is going on that I dont notice on my car - is that the sound you were talking about?
Otherwise, the high pitch ticking sound that your car is making when you are showing the supercharger and when you are not is the sound my car just started making...
Also, I have noticed that now, the oil pressure needle starts at 60 and not 40 as it did before..... and goes from about 60-70 area while driving.....
Did I effect something by taking the car out on the highway and flooring it to feel the supercharger?
Damn this has my concerned! :(

I don't think you hurt anything, but I can't say for sure without looking at the car. The oil pressure I wouldn't worry about. I seem to remember we were going to change your oil pressure sender. But the one we had on hand was the wrong one.
If you can, remove the belt and do the test in the second video. If there'* play then the coupler is going bad. It'* a some what messy but easy fix. ZZP sells the stock coupler for $15 and that'* all you really need. I can do it in under a hour and only charge you $25. I have the gasket sealer and oil. But we will only do this if the coupler is bad.
