Well, I had my first supercharger for 19,000 or so miles.Might have been 18,000, I forget. It was modified, but I was able to get it warrantied because there was no proof it was aftermarket parts that proved it.

Well after 2,000 (or 3,000) miles on the new charger, I have even more proof that its not the aftermarket parts that hurt the supercharger.

I have kept this one, 100% stock, even though I hate not having the power. And now this one is MUCH worse than the last one.
Both were istalled at different places, because I thought that mght be the issue. The dealer has done atleast 6 installs that I know of.

I have an appointment on friday to ge it verified and see what will happen.
Here is a sound clip.

i like your last words on the video heh

Nick06tC

What were they? I dont remember.

java09

dang bro.. this is like a sign to get turbo charged!! hope you get it resolved quick! your car would be sick with a Turbo Toyotas Kit! WINK. haha

gjpjr84

blast, i cant view the video right now but marking this so i can when i am able to again.

Nick06tC

That will be my goal. I am going to ask that they use they time they would to uninstall and reinstall it, to just turn the car back to stock and just give me the new one still in the sealed box. Then I will sell the new one, and put it towards a a turbo!!!

Nick06tC

I wont be held responsible for the crying caused bythe horrible sounds you will hear!!


Although its probably not as bad in the video as it is in person!!

java09

sweet nick! im glad your car is better to from that dman truck reversing into you!! it looks better than ever now! what turbo kit you thiking about going with? even though turbonetics isnt the greatest that have that sweet warranty you cant pass on and i know your big on warranty!

Nick06tC

I want to go Dezod. They have the best out there. Turbonetics is out because of the Unichip. With living all over the world, I need something that I can have tuned anywhere I go.

Warranty is big for me. And I have stayed within it so far. But I am over 20,000 miles now. So its about time I forget the warranty!!!! I know the engine is strong to have lasted this loing, so warranty wise, I dont thnk I will need it from here on out.

java09

true.. well which ever kit you go with good luck.

Nick06tC

Maybe turbotoyotas can sponsor me!! They can get their business going in guam!!!

java09

hah hes a small company but maybe you can talk to him since you do have a show quality car!

Nick06tC

I should. I have no sponsors. As much as I go to shows, the magazine coverage and all the forums. I know I could market a company, I jus have never persued it, and dont reall no where to begin!!!!

damn nick. thats pretty scary. seeing as i just ordered my S/C from TRD Sparks...

gjpjr84

well, you may only be over 20k but the supercharger still covers you through the 60k powertrain.

gjpjr84

"this sucks!"

but yea that horrible grinding whine

Nick06tC

oops

My origional s/c made the exact same noise 2 weeks after install. I have a post somwhere on here with mine making that wonderful noise as well. They told me the bearings did not get enough oil and spun out. I do not know the validty behind that one. I am on s/c #2 which is about to be replaced because she is leaking oil from unknown locations. My S/C is stock minus the Bosch 110p.

Hope all goes well for you. Good Luck!

Nick06tC

Its amazing that with all of theoes that have gone bad, they havent done anything about it. I cant imagine the money they have lost. Heck, between me and you we have 6 superchargers!!!

djpaper

Yeah, it is kind of sad. I pretty much regret going S/C now even with the warranty to back up these issues, I am tired of dealing with them.

I am waiting on TRD to call my dealership for the OK to warranty the work.

I will let you know when I hear something from the dealership, *holds breath*
