What a supercharged MR2 should have sounded like from factory

It needs some work, as you can hear, the charger whine is louder than the exhaust and currently will fail track day/MSA noise levels

oh, and thats only the small crank pulley

Any idea why it's so loud Tim?

a few reasons.

Rubbish camera.
Because its a larger charger unit to standard, one from a supra so will sound different.
I was also trying to diagnose an air leak so the charger is actually disconnected from the intake system In this video. Deceptive I know, but I love the whine of a roots charger.

It should be a fair bit quieter when its plumbed in, but it will be loud

Nope, it was first to an Mot.
