A little clarification here. Series 2 CAN run without the SC. Series 1 cannot. The same belt drives the water pump on a Series 1.

Pretty strange that the car hasn't kicked up a check engine code,.....it does sounds like some kind of a vacuum leak or wastegate leak or maybe the gasket on the bottom of the supercharger has some kind of a leak,.......Doesn't sound like an actual mechanical failure in the */C screws/blades.

Sorry for the late response, but I took a look at it the next day and felt like an idiot, the entire supercharger belt came off. Put it back on and what do ya know, full boost again! lol sorry for the trouble guys, but thank God it wasn't something worse, I still do get the wierd whistle noise though. Thanks again guys.
