Stop being stubborn vortech won't fix anyones supercharger. Call in and tell them you are having a problem with your trd supercharger and don't tell them who you are and don't speak with your friend and then you will see what they have to say about it... click.

here is what we've learned gompka:
if you were their show car at sema and if you had breasts too they'd accommodate.

& furthermore, let me add, I never had ANYTHING to do with Vortech before so don't say "if you were their show car". The guy who helped me was someone I met at a car meet (a Subaru one at that) over a year ago & I hadn't seen him since.

You're friggin 35 years old, & you think someone isn't going to get offended by comments like that? Stop thinking with the wrong head because you're a friggin dbag. & stop going out of your way to make sexist comments. Keep that isht to yourself & grow the eff up.

Just cuz I'm a girl doesn't mean I get out of things easily, I've definitely been ticketed in my tC, I've spent over $23,000 on my car & only 2 of my sponsors were full sponsors. Now don't you think all of my sponsors would've been full sponsors?

It's sad that I woke up still ____ed off about your comment.

We now have 2 thousand dollar paperweights. What ever the case is Vortec, TRD, and PSE Superchargers are all a bunch of DBAGS. But I did find out that PSE Superchargers was hired to figure out the problem with the Scion TC supercharger.I also found out some interesting info talking to Ed Martinez the founder of PSE Superchargers (got the number from Bob Garner Supervisor of TRD). After talking to him and using my superb speaking skills, it slipped out of his mouth that the shafts of the TRD Scion TC superchargers (Mostly the 06) were not hardened correctly from the factory. So my friends this is F*ed up. No matter what bearings you use the original shaft will always spin inside the bearings because the metal is too soft. Gompka and I will soon be producing our own custom shafts. Most likely in partnership with kikcaffine (bearing dude) we will be making more than a couple for sale with sweet bearings from kikcaffine. I will get the first two made this coming week and put it in asap for testing. FINALLY an option B. Please call Bob Garner from TRD and tell him what you think of this supercharger haha. I have been calling everyday for the past month.

Our shafts will be full shafts, not hollow pipes, and will be fully hardened at a machine shop that makes parts for Boeing. We will make these as low cost to you as possible but keep in mind they want over $500 at PSE to "diagnose" your supercharger and give you the same ____ty shaft as you had before.

So you guys do recommend NOT doing the TRD S/C? LOL

Well, my buddies are getting on me about boosting my auto '07. They said TRD S/Cs aren't passing emissions and Toyota has been known to make people rip them out.

My theory is 3,200-ish for the S/C? Why not go better for little more then save for proper tuning?

yea i agree 3,000 is way too much for a supercharger that only boosts to 200hp

if i boost my car its gonna be a Dezod or a Vulcan turbo.

If california were easy like that, I wouldn't have SC'ed. People who live in cali almost have no reliable source of boost that is still carb legal. But if you're state isn't as strict as Cali about CARB regulations, stay away from the SC haha.

see, thats the point where it infringes on freedom, that is NOT cool, no offense b/c i know i'm gonna get insane flame from this but i'm sick of this green crap, forgive me for wanting to enjoy my life but i'm not going far out of my way just to reduce an inth of the so called "harmful" carbon output in the grand scheme of things b/c there is always a group of people who won't/can't "go Green" so whats the point in reducing the minority? just look at China, Emissions is not on the list of their major problems because industrial activity is their lifeblood.

bring on the hate mail

No I feel you haha. I wish we weren't so strict on cars. You can barely do anything to your car to make it look nice without getting pulled over. Ricers get more freedom and they have the most illegal crap. So not fair.

:-\ aw man that stinks. see down here in Georger lol, cops dont care as long as you dont drive around with underbody lights on but other than that you only really get pulled over for speed or broken lights. We have Joshua's law BS though i dunno if other states do but i heard only Georgia does

Yeah never heard of that haha. We cant have tints(most kinds), some get pulled over for 8k HIDs, intakes, TRD EXHAUSTS, slammed cars, no front plates. Lots of retarded things. I should make a thread saying, "What have you been pulled over for in cali?" Then you'll see how bad we suffer! Haha.
