Supercharger
I've been noticing lately that when I accelerate from a stop I hear a "whine" type noise like when you mash on your pedal and the supercharger kicks in. I'm hearing this noise just from normal acceleration. Could that be a problem??

Let'* request a move to the Forced Induction section where this will get better exposure with the supercharged addicts.
When you say whine Pearl, does it sound like the supercharger or something else? We've already established that you know your car well and you replaced your rack about 4-6K ago.
