How long has your TC trd supercharger lasted?
#83
I'm starting to read that the problem arises when we swap out the pulley.
While I admit that the supercharger definately doesn't use its full potential in stock form, has anyone had problems with it w/o modding the supercharger?

I have an 05 tC, my first S/C went out at about 18K miles, lucky it got replaced under warranty, the second one has about 3K miles on it and its already making noises I don't like , I used to defend this unit, but honestly its a piece of crap and I'm glad they are going to discontinue it.

Fact of the matter is it seems like trd/vortech rated all the s/c components for some very easy driving without much time spent in the upper rpm range. The bearings are all rated for speeds that are too low.

I have an 05 tc. The first supercharger was installed at 20,000 miles. At 38,000 miles the supercharger crapped out completely and a wrecker took my car to the dealership. It had been sounding bad for a few thousand miles prior to that. It was replaced under warranty and I'm at 40,000 miles on the car now. I plan to ditch it when the warranty expires and get something more reliable.
