I don't know how to explain the noise. Is this the TRD number 1800-688-5912?

Ok dealership just called. Apparently they can't order just the Seal. So they are replacing the whole supercharger unit or so they say. I am waiting for it to actually happen. I have my doubts.

yes. I paid for the actual supercharger from a dealer, and I had the dealer install it. I have not modified anythingto the supercharger pulley wise or header wise. So i still have warranty technically.

Well, I can say this much... Every time I go there, they are always booked solid, and I've seen plenty of their installs. Theyve done my water/meth, my cams (which required disassembling a lot of stuff), my Wideband o2 & boost gauges, and all of my tuning - and everything has been top notch work.

With tuning, the standard disclaimer always applies - anything can go wrong at any time... You're pushing your car to do things it wasn't necessarily designed to do.

What caused his intake mfd to fly off? Any idea?

Ok. So after a few days of talking with the dealer. They ordered my new supercharger and they are installing it as we speak. I went in this mornin and dropped off some catrol syntec 10w40 oil and a trd oil filter and checked the status. They are replacing the blower only which has that oil leak on that seal. I should be getting it back today.

I guess not modifyin your car, and just leaving it be, TRD shouldnt have any reason to deny warranty no matter how hard you drive it.

I didn't read everyones replys but this could explain why the 2007 TC as of right now does not come with any support for a SC. (that was explained to me by the sales man at one of the dealers, when i asked why he said there having too many problems with them.)
