Have a new car.... that has random parts falling off!

Been a while since I was on here. Most of you knew me with the stock 2008 4 door Vista blue Focus SE. Sold that to my dad. Got a Cavalier and just didn't seem right to be hanging out with a ford group driving a Chevy! lol. It was a peice of junk anyway. I sold it and got a 2001 Mercury Cougar C2 ( I'll put pics up soon) Love the Cougar a heck of a lot more than the Cavalier....but anyway. Here's the funny part-
I got the cougar on the 14th. I knew it needed some minor work ie Belt needed to be replaced and at least 1, possibly 2 O2 sensors need to be replaced. Well the belt broke on me on Monday afternoon.When the belt broke, a pulley snapped off as well. We thought it was the idler pulley.... Got it brought to a shop. Guy claimed the pulley didnt belong there. So I had it brought to a different shop. Was told the same thing. Finally brought it to one last shop...again was told the pulley wasnt suppose to be on my engine... Sooo....where the heck did this pulley come from?!?!?!?! We cannot figure it out. Car runs a heck of a lot better since I got the belt replaced but it seems a little odd that a pulley would magically fall off the engine.
Also, I had one guy try to tell me my car has a supercharger on it. He claims that the C2 Cougar comes factory with a supercharger on it. Anyone else heard anything about this?!?!
In case you are interested in looking into this- Its the 2001 Mercury Cougar C2 with the 2.5L V6 engine. I haven't been able to find anything about the car coming stock with a supercharger on it, but I know you can get them for the car.
