Porsche986, sure. Send me a sound file and perhaps I could hear it. And I would say that even though a SC would be easy to spot if you knew what you were looking for, for those who don't know, it could be difficult.

A supercharger is usually a device that is attached to your crank via a belt. The belt drives a compressor that takes external air and pushes it into the engine. A roots type supercharger usually sits right on top of a manifold and has the air induction on the other side.

I have seen other superchargers that are still driven by the engine by a belt and pushes air into the mass air flow sensor. If I were to guess, the 2nd is the type that you have if you have one.

Go ahead and send me a sound file and I can tell you what I think.
