Thread: Loud "Whooshing" sound

sounds like it could be the egr. might be an exhaust leak, in which case, you should be able to feel air coming out of the leak location, or it could be a vacuum leak, and spraying starting fluid at the area where the leak is will change the sound of the idle for a brief time.

like scott said, all we are doing is guessing.

I agree that you're only guessing and I do appreciate the fact that you're willing to give me some input. One thing that I didn't mention and I'm not sure it matters but when I start it even with the belts off the supercharger is still spinning and it's spinning hard enough that it is hard to stop even holding the pulley with a belt.
