no it doesnt make any noise form the charger it just wont fully boost and the oil pressure is crazy and it just stuters really bad. the pully is ok im pretty sure. it doesnt make any noise at all.

try having the motor flushed. if the oil is getting that dirty in only 1000 miles then you may very well have some buildup in the motor - that would also be a reason your oil pressure is higher than normal.

have it flushed out professionally for the best results. they use a pressure system to make sure all debris is removed internally. if not, you can try some of the numerous self-flush products they have at any autoparts store. the only one ive used is valvoline's and it is pretty good. in my opinion though, the best bet would be to have it done professionally...

If your oil gets dirty really fast the could be because air thats not being filtered is getting burned. Is there an intake leak?
