happened to me once, my girl noticed it, i forgot about it and it hasnt happened since

You mean it smells like it is coming from the the S/C, or that there is something that smells like a S/C? Does the SC seem excessively hot?

I have always hated smells on a car. I had one once, terrible smell, that when investigated tuned out that I had run through a puddle of coolant and some splashed up and onto the motor. That smelled pretty bad.

Belts aren't THAT expensive are they? $40 tops? I think if my belt were to start to wear, that would be a perfect excuse for me to get the undersized pulley and replace the belt w/a smaller one....

nope def not the belt here i double chaecked that and no smell coming from the belt at all... no cracks and it looks perfect the smell seems to be coming from the drivers side right in front of ot next to the sc.... im still trying to hunt it down but as i do that it goes away so its really hard to pin piont it

It happens each time after hard driving? Burned/boiling coolant has a funny smell. Have you noticed any coolant loss?

I think I have the same issue. Some kind of smell hits me right in the face after a hard acceleration. I haven't been able to pinpoint it, but I figured it was either the supercharger or maybe the clutch. Not sure, though.
