Default Im going to cry about the supercharger news.

I got the car right away because I thought the SC was coming. I still love the car though ate up wannabes tonight, I felt powerful. Its sucks to wait a whole year to get the SC because I aint getting it in the winter. Wait time total 1 yr 6 months

I got the car in january so its broke in. Sc isnt coming out for awhile and im storing it during the winter. I live in a small town of 20000 with a bunch of hicks. Neons, Honda Civics, some other ugly things. They thought I had a Turbo. I told them a Fart pipe doesnt make you fast.

I was talking to a friend of my roommate that works in parts at Oxnard Toyota and he said they arent even expecting the SC on its supposed release date of early April, he said maybe sometime in the fall at the earliest.

people seem to be surprised the the s/c charger is not out yet. people need to remember that you are dealing with TRD which postpones everything for a least a year or longer. this is nothing new with them no releasing a product on time. i wouldn't be surprised if the s/c isn't released for another year

Well here is the news: I was talking to a guy at the dealership that was in town because of the NY car show and he gave me the bad news. Scion changed the release date for the supercharger once again. Instead of posting a date, they are saying "TBA" ....meaning this product is not going to be released within the next few months. It will be released but...not soon. If I had to guess, I would say they are going to release it late this year (maybe). Sorry for the bad news but I am going to get an intake and forget about the supercharger. A year from now I will worry about if I want a turbo or supercharger. Getting one when it first comes out is not a good idea anyway. Aftermarket companies learn from users. I rather other people test run the product before I put it into my car.

So much for the warranty, it'll be gone by the time this thing's out.

What's wrong with that? Properly engineered and excecuted power-adders (turbo, sc, or nitrous) isn't going to blow your motor up. All the warrenty is there for is a false sense of security. Your motor isn't likely to blow itself up on its own.

And don't think because you have the TRD supercharger that they are going to look the other way if you have other mods or have abused your motor. I have a feeling that all the sc warranty claims are going to involve hastily replaced supercharger gears and some nonchalant whisteling...

'No I didn't tamper with the boost! I swear I was just driving my grandmother to church when... BANG!'
