supercharger? done? and ac problems?

ok heres some major problems with my 05, any help would be appreciated

if i turn on the ac my car will stall/turn off

when i first turn my car on anywhere, theres like a loud clicking noise, then it goes away after a couple seconds (never used to do that)

now the mega problem, when i floor it and use the supercharger (i used to be able to hear it wine so i know its kicking in) but now its like a loud whistle and no power and one time it stalled on me

so ive been driving my car around in this heat all summer and shifting at 3k rpm

am i sol? or is there a connection with the ac and the whole shibang?

these problems only started occuring after i replaced the thermestat housing

my car is making me not like it! but i would like to get it fixed, and be able to drive around, knowing it is running fine

thanks

reggie

Bad AC compressor, ck your oil level and sounds like the bypass valve is stuck open.

replace your bypass valve with one made by Detroit Tuned. I've yet to upgrade mine but I hear the stock one tends to fail and this is a grand replacement.

As for the whistling, maybe a boost leak somewhere? Not sure about the A/C compressor but I do have a very loud clicking/ticking noise coming right from my valve cap. no clue what that could be
