Default need help on the supercharger

ok this is the problen. ever since i got the supercharger installed(mponth ago) i been hearing a noise. its not the normal kind where its a whine but like it happens right before i redline. it makes like a grinding nosie like i have bust something. almost sounds like throw a peice a metal in the sink dispolsal and turning it on. need some help on what it could be. also lately i have been smelling something weird too. its a weird smell like not burnt but i dont know how to explain it. and today i gat gas and the car feltt like it was trying not to die like the rpm would go down to 500 and kinda shiver and shake the car every time i stoped and when i would shift gears it would kinda backfire. well need some help. i dont have anything done to the supercharger except the header. let me know on what u think

Take the header off before you bring it to the dealer if you want any kind of warranty work done. TRD is a bunch of _____es when it comes to warrantying anything. Check the shaft on the side of the s/c compressor and see if its leaking oil.
