you will need oil pan, injectors, spark plugs, airbox, belt. and few other nuts and bolts. Some one on SL is selling stock injectors for $50.

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.....

There is always the Attorney General and Better Business Bureau to complain to. If there are enough complaints there is a chance of a class action lawsuit.

See that's the thing, allot of the people that were/have been screwed have already moved on and don't really care anymore(I'm guessing), I'm gathering up some evidence that my dealer(Hamer Toyota) did a crummy job installing this last one, which means that they prob did a crummy job with the other 3 as well, I also have proof that TRD send me defected parts, soon I'll be hitting both companies up with it, but like others have tried before, I'll just have someone laugh over the phone about it and that will be the end of it.

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.

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.

you need oem serpentine belt, throttle body to air box hose, oem fuel injectors, spark plugs, and a matching ecu. You can plug off the oil pan.

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

Your speaking of me. If thats a route you want to go by all means, like he said thought give me a little lead time so I can get the bearings in.
