Heres what you do:
1: Get a nut, a big nut.
2: Get a wrench.
3: Get a welder:
4: Weld nut to supercharger bolt.
5: Hold nut with wrench and turn engine over.
6: Go buy a similar bolt that CAN ACTUALLY BE TAKEN OFF

Seriously, it works.

well what if i take my car up to the dealership to get some work done with maybe a slight problem with the s/c. this is random but could happen. wouldnt taking the bolt off void the warranty? and should i wait and do the pulley swap till the warranty on the s/c is up or i think the real question is could i wait that long to do it lol.

Good question... They would probably need to re-seal it or something. Maybe document that THEY broke the seal for maintenance. Bottom Line: You want to get any more power out of our car, the warranty needs to be voided. Be careful though, our car with the non-LSD open differential and the obvious wheel hop issue creates great stress on the supercharger since it spans the length of the engine. The conpressor side is hopping while the pulley side is not. Grenaded 2 superchargers that way.

o damn that sucks. yea i have a torque damper to cut back on the wheel hop some. not sure how it will be with the s/c. but yea ill watch for that and ill be careful. and i had a feeling u would say that. more power= losing the warranty. so ill just run the s/c for now until the warrrnty is up. ____ by the time i get the money for the s/c maybe the price will be down. or i just decide to go turbo depends on how the car acts from now till then if it needs maintenence or not or how many miles its got. the reason i want the s/c is the 100000 extended warranty i have. not wana mess anything up. havent learned enough yet about the car yet for me to feel comfortable enough about turbo so idk. thanks dude

Well I'm just lookin out for ya because I had the stiffy and it only holds down one side of the engine. I believe the opposite wheel hops. I will tell you this though, I went through 2 superchargers in 20,000 miles and am now boosted by Turbonetics and could never be happier.

lol. yea well. actually now that i read about what i wrote i take that back. i know ____ loads about the car its just i have never done a turbo app on any car. im new to turbo. what i ment was i would rather have no warranty on my car and be very informed about a turbo before i put it on my car. i know what i need to build a custom kit. i know what too look for its just im worried about the warranty and this being my DD to mess it up.
