Jim 1 Posted December 17, 2006 I really really despise that supercharger whine.. such an awful noise! If I was getting a Bahn Brenner charger, it'd have to have the silencer kit on it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted December 17, 2006 My 8v GTI used to sound like that when the cambelt tensioner bearing failed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mave 0 Posted December 17, 2006 Everything on that car is OTT. That noise would pee me off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ad2408 0 Posted December 17, 2006 Sounds like the electric power steering on the girlfriends old Mini :pukeleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slimg60 0 Posted December 17, 2006 what's with the roof and bonnet scoop, as Mave said, everything is OTT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted December 17, 2006 That would totally do my head in after about 5 minutes! Sounds like a vacuum cleaner :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Forinor 0 Posted December 18, 2006 Looks wise maybe its a little OTT, but personally, I do like the whine... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60SC_Stoney 0 Posted December 18, 2006 thats a load of crap, ive got a bahn brenner on and mine doesnt sound anywhere near as noisey as that! the fact thats he's probably removed all the sound deadening from under the bonnet, and fitted a stupid induction kit doesnt help. anyway when you are in the car you cant hear the supercharger at all, except when you rev the nuts off it, the it starts to sound like a new mini power steering.

ReekieVR 0 Posted December 20, 2006 I was thinking it sounded more like a fork lift. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkie 0 Posted December 20, 2006 Quality whine. OTT car. G60SC_STONEY is right though there not as loud as that and i had a 50mm pulley on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jackroo 0 Posted December 31, 2006 I like the whine however I agree after about 5 minutes I would want to get public transport Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaggy 0 Posted December 31, 2006 Like others have said, i heard a BBM for the first time at the G-werks open day... and they are no where near as loud as that one in the video! I have plans to fit one in the new year when my current Glader is due for a rebuild and I personally cant wait to have something a little more reliable than the G60 unit, should be fairly nice with a small pulley too... :D Just gotta start doing a load of overtime at work so i can pay for it lol... Infact this video shows how quite it is in the car... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60SC_Stoney 0 Posted January 1, 2007 Like others have said, i heard a BBM for the first time at the G-werks open day... and they are no where near as loud as that one in the video! well said, i defend my BBM charger all the way, ive been giving her some proper grief recently, mainly due to the fact im having a new engine in a few weeks, so thought id satisfy my urge for speed while i can, and i wish i bought one earlier, they only sound loud when you rev it past about 4k, and if you are revving it that high i think the sound from the exhaust is louder....
