I have a scion tc supercharger. Last week it start making loud, weard, irritating sounds and the engine bay start shaking when the car is in idle. Then the check engine light came on. So i took my tc to toyota. They gave me the run around for about 6hrs. Toyota said i have low compression in 3 cyls. They said they will have to tear down my engine and supercharger for $3,000.00 to find out whats the problem. I just pass my warranty. Have anyone had this problem or can you give some good advice?please

My part List
1. Trd supercharger
2. MMW headers and down pipe
3. greddy se exhaust
4. NST pulley kit
5. Forge 007
6. MMW supercharger intake

 

how long have you had all those parts?

 

The warranty on the supercharger or your car is up (assuming you had a warranty on the sc in the first place)

Also - regardless of your situation with those mods you they are going to give you a hell of a time when it comes to honoring any kind of warranty. Regardless of if they caused the problem or not.

Depending on the status of your SC's warranty you may be SOL and have to cough up the dough....or you can call around and see if any other dealers will do it for cheaper maybe?

 

1. Trd supercharger- 1 1/2 year
2. MMW headers and down pipe-5 mo
3. greddy se exhaust-2 month
4. NST pulley kit-9 mo
5. Forge 007-4 weeks
6. MMW supercharger intake-6 mo

 

How can you legally have headers for TC in CA?

 

NO.....

 

So i'm guessing the OP has the hook up when it comes to smog check?

 

um no OP has a 07, he doesnt have to smog until 2013

 

what if you get pulled over and get the "can you please pop the hood sir?"

 

What the signs of a badd supercharger?

 

then he has a emissions ticket. why does that even matter?

 

could be a bad bearing, thats what happened to me. just got the s/c removed and im done with it.

 

I saw a thread about that in CA a month or so ago...and WOW is that ever an expensive ticket! think they said it was several hundred bucks. Glad I don't live in CA lol

 

I think that is the number 1 issue I've seen people with the trd s/c say happened with theirs....a bad bearing.

 

yeah when my bearing went out, it was like a grinding noise.

 

I guarantee that 99.9% of people who purchase a header understand it is not street legal and are willing to take the risk and just flat out don't give a @#$%.
