one thing some are forgetting.. you don't get the warranty on the supercharger UNLESS you have the dealer do the work.. nice, eh? that's the catch!

You get a 1 year warranty if someone other than dealer installs and that's only on the parts itself. If it is dealer installed the warranty will be longer and engine damage due to s/c will be covered.

Actually, Sparks has settled at $380.00 for our startup customers. Toyota had an initial suggested price of $450.00 for the average install. I've heard of some charging as much as $850.00. Interesting range there.

(p) IMPORTANT: Review with the
customer/end-user that the supercharger will
have a slight rattling and or chirping sound
especially at idle and that these are normal
noises for this type of supercharger.


sweet chirp noises.... not sweet TRD tamper proof cap on s/c pulley looks like its a voidy voidy on the higher boost pulley

replacing the small pulley on the SC itself is not the ONLY way to make more boost

so whats the ETA now on the SC?

New oil pan, header heatshield, injectors, new snorkel for the airbox - and all that was actually "designed", as opposed to "rigged". Not a bad deal at all.

yep, thats why i like it. the price isnt bad because you are doing a complete kit... you dont need to go out and buy other things for it to function properely... i also think the numbers are low balled. we will see once i have it one my car (nextyear probably....)

Whats this header heatshield? And I plan on using my Umnitza airbox with this thing. Shouldnt be hard at all but I may have to do some custom hosing to line it up right. Looks like itd be a bit difficult to have a FMIC inline with this thing but Im sure its doable.

I noticed the tamper proof cap too. They know what were gonna try to do to it!! Just a matter of making it look like it was not tampered with.

I'm wondering what the flash consists of and could it be put to use for turbo applications, at least the stage 0.

There is no way on God's green Earth that 7 psi adds a measley 12 lb/ft of torque. It can't be!!!!!!

besides basic bolt-ons and oil changes, im pretty useless with a wrench myself. the tamper-proof thing is almost meaningless. when/if i get it, i'm just going to leave it pretty much as is. i'll have it installed by a dealer, warrantied, gain some hp, and never have to worry about it.
