Ran into a problem today, my dealer didn't have the reflash tool so I had to send it out to be reflashed. It will be a couple of days for the turn around. Oh well good things come to those who wait.

you're telling me you went to a dealer that didn't have a reflash tool?? what kind of dealer is this???

Did they know what a supercharger was? I'd tread lightly with a slack dealer.

Yea I was a little leary when I found out but I don't have a whole lot of options no one in my area to my knowlege has the reflash tool. At least the work will be covered by warrenty. That is the only reason I'm having the dealer install it, other wise I would do the install myself.

Its not the dealer5 slacking. They wont carry the $500 tool until someone does an install. But granted they should have ordered one at the time of the supercharger order.

Congrats on the purchase.

Thanks. I tried to get them to buy the tool but they said they didn't think they would do enough installs to make it woryh while. I thought that kinda sucked! Oh well.

Well I finally got my car back Thursday. The differance is like day and night. It is nice to have a little more power. Now I need to get my exhaust installed and I'll be doing good.

It defiantly pulls harder; I think it was worth the money. A turbo would have been faster but I drive about 85 miles a day 5 days a week to work so I needed to keep my warranty in tact plus I like the low maintenance of the SC.

Its a noticeable and pretty good pull based on my friends supercharged tC but the pull from a turboed tC is amazing and seems endless!
