Gurgling/Boiling Noise After Shutdown
Weather isn't that hot today and I just had an lazy drive to the carwash, McDonald's and back home so I didn't drive the car hard. After shutting down the car and getting out, I heard a gurgling/boiling sound coming from the supercharger. There were no warning lights or any indication of anything wrong before shutdown. I feared the worst and expected a cloud of steam and coolant spewing everywhere when I opened the hood. Nope, nothing. just a gurgle/boiling noise from the supercharger area. I Google'd it but no results.
Thoughts? I'll check the coolant level once the car is cold.

Could be a leakage of the intake air intercooler located in the blower housing . If you are missing any coolant when cold I wouldn't recommend to start the engine any more . Getting the water into one of the cylinders might destroy your engine .
Hope your problem is less severe .

Were you using a quadcopter to film that!? It made me dizzy! ;-)
If you remove the oil filler cap, does the tone/volume change?
Obviously after a run, the engine gets pretty hot as it has no cooling air to aide with heat loss. sounds like a bit of a moisture leak from somewhere that is being 'dried' out as it heats up.
Need to be a bit more specific on where the noise is actually emanating from.
Have you looked under the car for any signs of leakage?
