Turbo/Supercharged tC in Bay Area?
Does anyone have a Turbocharged or Supercharged tC in the Bay area?
Just wondering because I think about going that route.

There's a couple of folks with Superchargers. I got one now. Bond used to have one. A guy who drove the powder blue release series tc. The red tc up in Stockton / Sac? There's also the Raven tc who I have no idea who owns that now. Then there's a white tc that used to be turbocharged but which got sold to a dealership.
I dunno who else is running a F/I setup in Norcal who's on this board.

If you want power get a turbo or get a different car altogether. Our tc's are not "fast" cars.
The Supercharger is probably not worth it, even though I have one, it's has taken and will take a lot of maintenance to keep it running. The main problem is the bearings in the pulley housing. There's normally no lubrication going to the 2 bearings in there. Only what's in there from the factory- eventually it dries out and your bearings start going to crap. I've had a grease fitting put in and will be putting in grease between the bearings every oil change. I've already had to replace the bearings once and that's within 7 months of installing it. And, I baby the hell out of the car. No street racing, no launches, etc.
