It's definitely internal to the compressor. I took it to the Suby garage and they verified that it's the magnet clutch, just as I was afraid. Unfortunately it's not really a serviceable part, and the rebuild costs almost as much as a new compressor according to them. So I guess I'm stuck buying a compressor. That, plus the fact that I need two new O2 sensors is really gonna set me back. Guess I'll have to forego that custom exhaust for another year.
