Have you replaced the little internal timing belt for the wider one? Sometimes they can catch on the inside of the bracket.

Does sound more like a bearing going. When was it last serviced?

i agree with jezza's post, when a bearing goes it can be the noise of the scroll catching on the casings!

i replaced the timing belt a few weeks back for an xl. apart of that, charger is still with his original parts, and allways on stock pulley.

i think it might be the scroll bearing..
