Default Do prochargers make noise @ idle?

I have just installed a used procharger M-1 on a 7.4 MPI and it makes noise @ idle. I have read threads stating that prochargers do make noise. The noise goes away off idle, I assume as pressure against the turbine blades becomes greater. The previous owner suggested the use of straight 40 wt oil. Any suggestions?

Mine did it, really worried me, but is the norm. Mine either got quieter, or I didn't notice it as much after several uses.

My brand new ones do. At least with the hatch up I can hear it. I am told that you should only use procharger oil, looks thinner then 40 wt to me.
100 hours between changes. I would buy the right stuff.
