VXR8 with TVS supercharger. The car has become slow, i thought it was just me but many others have noticed. What could it be? Also when your near the red line is it normal to hear a squeal sound like a belt slipping?

Take that as a no? Done it since i bought it so thought it was normal. Never had a supercharger before!

Its still squealing but it only does it when high in revs at the redline. So basically the belt needs changed and it will sort the problem? Will this be the cause to the power loss? Is it worth getting a shorter belt?

I take it the supercharger has to come off and its the belt at the back? If so i've checked the teeth and they seem in good condition
