    I was driving today and noticed a high pitched squealing sound ( not the belt ).
    When i got out of the car, there was a wierd smell ( almost a burning smell but not really) ) also there was a lot of what I think was water on the ground. I also dont get full boost in first gear.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Last time i ever had or saw something like that happen the motor seized and i saw smoke roll out. This of course was on a lawnmower but it almost sounds similar.

    Is it still drive-able ? Did you check your belts ? Water pump lockup ? Pulley Seize ? Have you replaced any parts ?

    Head gasket let go? LIM gaskets/Coolant elbows failed leaking coolant onto the belts causing them to squeal.

    PCV valve could have failed as well...that squeals. Or...water pump seizing up makes some nice noise.

    My bet is LIM gasket/coolant elbows...why? Because now you have a vacuum leak and you can't get into boost.

    So i was driving today, and then all of a sudden I had NO boost. So I popped the hood and my supercharger belt was just chillin there. So I bought a new belt, figuring the old one was just worn out, went to go put it on and pulley #9 was missing and there was a bunch of rubber shavings next to where the pulley would be:


    this is what it looked like:



    srry for the crappy quality.

    hopefully when I replace the part tomorrow, it fixes the problem.
