    Alright....is there anything with the coupler/snout that could cause it not to spin the internals to cause no boost? Think that'd the worst case scenario right?

    If you have a belt, it's turnin.

    You have no boost and an SES light, car is complaining about something. See where I'm goin. There's little you can do w/o looking at the car.

    Well its all one belt I think (right?). No charging problems so I know the belt is intact. Looks like it must be vacuum/BCS/BCA related. Thats where I'll start looking once I can get out of work. Thanks again for the help pointing me in the most probable direction.

    One belt..uh no. Two belts. SC is by itself. Most likely you didn't hear the idler pulley going back and it seized up, then sent the belt into the abyss.

    Odd that you didn't hear any of that happening.

    Well....how easy should the super charger spin by hand? Guess the things to check is the idler pulley and the supercharger itself right?

    Maybe it broke last night right before I pulled into the driveway..i did have the stereo cranked.
