Vortech burning rubber/oil smell while in boost
I just recently installed a used Vortech with a 3,12 pulley, installed new belts, and added CNT high flow cats (new gaskets) and had my car tuned with UpRev. I noticed that when I'm in boost >4k rpm, I can smell what I think smells like oil or burning rubber. Mind you, I'm not roasting my tires either. When I looked under the hood, everything looked and smelled fine. Anybody have this problem? What should I be looking at?
Thanks.
Thanks.

rubber smell
..had that rubber smell when the hose clamp tail end on the silicone coupler near the cog belt was hitting the cog belt...shredded it in 5 miles...always keep a spare belt on hand and don't trust some shop to install it correctly

Okay, so it's now the end of summer and I still have the smell after about 3,000 miles. No unusual belt wear or dust. I noticed the smell the other day after about 5K rpms. Could I have a worn supercharger seal or maybe I have a small filter attached to the hose that should have went into the intake filter? The air filter that was included didn't have the inlet to connect that hose to the filter.

The brake booster is also either with a check valve or put on the inlet of the S/C but you can't do that because that would mean moving the throttle body before the S/C.
