Well Guys, after reading post after post of leaks and cracking of superchargers mounts, it finally happen to me. Right before the Holiday weekend I was about to clean my engine bay when I discovered the following:

1st. Oil leaking from Seal!

2nd. A Cracked Supercharger at the Mounting point!

 

AWW i was gonna get one soon btw how much dose it coast ??

 

It varies, Some people get it a little less than 3 grand. I paid $4200 for mine plus $600 for install. Local dealer was a rip off, they charged "ME" for the reflash tool and then the basterds kept it!

 

You got anally violated. MSRP is 3200, they jacked you for a grand. You can get it at TRDSparks.com for $2950 + shipping, no tax.

That oil problem was the same thing I had, only a lot less severe than that. I wrapped the shaft with a bbbbboatload of thermal wrap and it's cleared up well enough. You're fairly screwed with the bracket though.

 

yeah 4200 thats a little much for supercharger get a turbo stage 0 i would of been better

 

Have any of you other guys that had one of these problem had a hard time getting TRD to replace or fix the unit! ?

 

This is all covered under warranty right? I just got mine installed, and I am not looking forward to these kinds of problems.

 

Wow, you have a blown seal *AND* a snapped mount!

Yeah, both will be covered.

 

and you let them do that to you, why?? you should never have agreed to that.

at this point you should call scion corp. that dealer would probably charge you for warranty work.

 

there's a fix for the mount, i will try to take pix of it tuesday when i get mine replaced under warranty.

 

You dont have Pulleys on I hope...

 

the question is if u have the tamper cap on. which i do. do i have aftermarket pulley, yes i have one on the side.

depends on the dealer, but by paper no cap = no warranty

this problem is not limited to modified sc setups, stock sc's do have identical issues

so u paid a total of $4800 for ur s/c...i tihnk someone mentioned this already but u got ripped off by $1000+

 

Thats what my dealership was going to do to me. That's why i didn't get a s/c.

 

I was thinking about wrapping the shaft with thermal wrap, but wouldn't that keep heat from "escaping" the shaft as opposed to keeping heat out?

 

Do you have a pulley on it? How many miles?

Sorry to see about the problem. I check weekly to make sure mine doesnt have problems.

 

Yep I have the pulley and I have 27K miles!
