Got my car back today and it has a Fresh SuperCharger sitting under the hood again. Nothing was wrong with my s/c before actually, it just had a broken bracket and they for some reason couldnt replace only that specific part... so they replaced the whole charger instead.

It was the housing that has the bearings packed into it on the pulley side. The new Charger also has the new tamperproof pulley bolt. But I think this time round im just going to live with the stock charger and mod other things.

 

Ah--the beauty of staying with TRD and Toyota parts!!

 

wow, thats pretty cool that you got a whole new charger... lucky guy gets to beat up a charger, break brackets and then get a whole new one! Im jealous, lol... kind of took long, would you say? i met you up a while ago and you showed me the brackets that had broken, i assume you had to go through the whole warranty process through TRD before your dealer would touch it?... did you drive it with the broken bracket this whole time before getting the charger replaced?
