Default Supercharger coming, what else should I get?

I have a supercharger coming for my Tc and I'm trying to get some input on what else I should get with it. I have DC sports headers and an exhaust.

well since you wont have a warranty on your supercharger, get a 9-9.5lb pulley for the supercharger

I would probably go with 9.5 pully forge 007, Wideband gauge and boost gauge. And some good tires!

Look at the far right of the page where it says warranty:

http://www.trdsparks.com/displaypart...&parts_id=1071

Modification of any kind to the Superchargers, such as but not limited to, pulley replacement or modifications of fuel pressure regulator or bypass system, will nullify this warranty.

Unless specifically identified as compatible with TRD Superchargers, other engine modifications, such as the addition of cold air induction systems, addition of exhaust headers, void the Supercharger warranty and may void the vehicle warranty.

I've had my supercharger since November 2005 and haven't had any oil burning issues. I'm always within the hash marks, never seen it get close to the low mark.

He wont necesarilly void the warranty with headers. The dealer has to prove thats the problem. If you also have a cool dealer it help in that situation as well. But there have been plenty of people who got warranty work with a header and watnot. Just force the dealer to prove it to you. they have to its your right as a customer.

That's only true IF the dealer/manufacturer doesn't provide a document that tells you what voids the warranty (which is part of the install packet and they hold you to it even if you claim you never got it) believe me I have gone through that paper work many times. Only thing that they wouldn't be able to detect if you changed it is from the s-pipe back, sorry to burst your bubble

Full Warranty Requirements Under a full warranty, in the case of a defect, malfunction, or failure to conform with the written warranty, the warrantor:

* must, as a minimum, remedy the consumer product within a reasonable time and without charge;
* may not impose any limitation on the duration of any implied warranty on the product;
* may not exclude or limit consequential damages for a breach of any written or implied warranty on the product, unless the exclusion or limitation conspicuously appears on the face of the warranty; and
* if the product, or a component part, contains a defect or malfunction, must permit the consumer to elect either a refund or replacement without charge, after a reasonable number of repair attempts.

In addition, the warrantor may not impose any duty, other than notification, upon any consumer, as a condition of securing the repair of any consumer product that malfunctions, is defective, or does not conform to the written warranty. However, the warrantor may require consumers to return a defective item to its place of purchase for repair.
The highlighted part is by law (and in the Magnuson-Moss Warranty act) how they can deny warranty IF its modified due to the fact that they stated it would be void if said parts are changed.
