TRD Supercharger '05 TC Failure
Welcome to the club man, I've gone through 4 SC's, this last one I'm rebuilding with parts I got from gompka and kikcaffine, so far I'm in the whole almost $1,500(that's parts and towing expenses) dollars thanks to TRD and their POS SC, they skimped out on parts and screwed who knows how many people out of $, I wish I had the money to take them to court, but I'm sure they got the best lawyers money can buy, that's prob. why they never did anything about fixing the SC and making it better, they just took our money and discontinued it 5 years later. That's why I will no longer support TRD, they turned their backs on us and we should do the same.
P.S. calling scion and complaining is not going to do anything, like gompka said big waste of time.....

Why don't you start a list and see how many people you can get on it that were screwed by their dealer and TRD with th SC, I bet you will prob. get like 10, don't know? try.
Hey Clark.. I live in Dallas and I was wondering if you have talked to jotech about working on it?? If not then there are a couple of other import shops I can point you towards.... let me know.
I have not had a chance to speak with them yet. After researching this issue I have no faith in the TRD Supercharger and would like to remove it. Does anyone happen to have a parts list and numbers (if available) that I would need to purchase to make my car working again? Thank you.
I forget the guys name but he is the main guy that does the bearing upgrades on this forum - speak with him (im sure someone here remembers his name on SL). Plan on renting a real cheap car for a week. Talk w/ him on removing the charger (isnt hard at all), then shipping it to him. Have him swap the bearings and reinstall the belt and charger. This 100% is the easiest way to do this. Plan for it now so your car is still running, dont wait. You will have better bearings then what it came with initially. After all that is done, I would plan on buying a used blower off this site at some time. Then, see if anybody is making the shafts. Redo the second blower w/ the bearings and attach the new shaft. These parts are pretty cheap and you will eventually need them. Hope that helps ya a bit
i just sent my s/c out to kikcaffine today via UPS. cant wait to get it back and get the TC on the road again.
