HELP!! Yet another s/c bites the dust...
So I currently have the infamous trd supercharger and it seems like it might be coming to an end. It's making these really horrible noises and while i'm driving it makes even weirder noises. I wish there were words to explain how weird and loud the noise sounds. This is my first s/c and currently I have a trd filter, nst 9.5 pulley, and forge splitter. I'm almost out of warranty and had this installed by a dealer almost a year ago. I think i'm pretty much screwed since trd discontinued the s/c. I was thinking of going to the route of a rebuild but I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to this. anyone have any advice?

For Rebuilds / repairs, search for Kikcaffine's seals and bearing replacements and Gompka's replacement hardened balanced properly sized SC shaft.
Please note also, everything and anything you do to modify your SC or engine will make TRD/ Scion / Toyota try to void your warranty. If you're not worried about that, then mod away to your hearts content
You might also want to search for Garage1217's thread on Supercharger Seal Replacement and Repair. The stock supercharger seals are inadequete.

yeah im planning to remove the pulley and splitter, cause the weird thing is when they installed the s/c they didnt put on the tamper proof cap. rebuilding is an alternative but i don't have a bearing press. also, i heard that when you get it installed by a dealer you have atleast a one year warranty. anyone know about that?

I love how there are all of these threads about the supercharger dying or having problems, and people talking bad about them since they were discontinued...
Then there's always this:
