Here is the spring coupler that was in my supercharger that was replaced in 2017. It was installed with very little grease, not packed at all. I had the rattle again so i replaces it with a solid one.

I can tell you that after 3 other superchargers, I got one that rattles at idle. I assume a solid isolator. Only thing I can say that is encouraging is that it probably has 100k miles on it and it still sounds as crap as it did when it was replaced. No change is good change.
Noisy, rattily, solid isolator for the win. Sure beats the 20k mile squeal and seize...

Thanks to all for the input. Informed decisions are always easier to live with when the result is less than ideal. |

Excellent clarification. I purchased a used 2013 M6 last year and had the SC replaced by the dealer in the fall – vehicle had less than 1K miles when I purchased. I plan to keep the latest SC w/o mods through the extended warranty period. I think I’m good through summer 2022 and will reassess the situation afterward. Might go with a pulley upgrade and do a solid isolator post warranty. The question I have with this strategy: will a faulty isolator cause damage to the SC assembly if I wait 2+ years under the warranty? I like the extended warranty and do no want to void it, don’t want to cause long term damage in the mean time either. Love the car but this has been causing some stress since the purchase…what should I do ?
