Did the supercharger coupler today.

How did you know it was time to change the coupler? mileage, noise, codes, all of the above? Also, is it possible to even remove the carbon in the intake while its apart?. I've got 87k on my 2010 and I think I need to do this also since I'm hearing a noise that I think is coming from the supercharger. Thanks.

Was googling the SC coupler replacement and found this advertised "oil filled upgrade" from the original any thoughts or threads about what type coupler I need to replace?

As a side note, I'm probably going to be going back in there within the next few months. The accessory belt tensioner bolt sheared off in the block last week and it's looking like I'm going to need to take the front of the car off to get to it. I haven't fooled with it much other than taking the intake pipes out to look at it and go, "oh, **** me..." and walk away from it. I'm currently bench testing the alum method of bolt extraction with mixed results. Even if I can get it to dissolve the bolt out, I'm assuming that the 5" or so between the block and the radiator support and whatnot isn't going to be enough room to get a drill and/or tap and/or timesert installation kit in there to do it right (I'm assuming at this point that the threads will need to be addressed as I have little faith in the cold formed threads produced by the tri lobe fasteners they run into the untapped holes at the factory). There's not a lot of meat on the boss and that's not a cheap block, so I'd rather take the extra time to get a clear and straight shot at it than try to have a go from up top. While I'm in there, I'm going to be doing some stuff with the intercooler system and will also be changing the SC oil.
