How's your supercharger?
#21
Actually depending on your dealership there are scion specific techs. Everyone can say whatever they want about how bad every dealer is and how there are no techs who can fix your car or install your supercharger. Just remember when you have a serious issue who do you take it to? I bet you don't goto your "performance" shop.

I am a scion tech at my dealer I did my own supercharger install and I have never had 1 issue. No broken bracket, no bearings, no oil leaks. I have 10k+ and almost a year on the blower. By the way I do follow specs and don't use an impact on everything. Just because you have heard on scionlife that people are having issues doesn't mean everyone is. I have a friend with 20k on his blower with no issues. It is dealer installed aswell. As for the torque specs and not using them. The bracket was redesigned therefore it had a design flaw not install error.

Don't even get your free oil changes there. Longo Scion/Toyota refuses to use the CORRECT type of oil for the FREE oil changes. The friggin cap calls for 5w-20 (on '07's and up), but you have to pay for your FREE oil change for them to use it, or else you get 5w-30.
If they can't change your oil to spec, what makes you think that they can install a supercharger? If a friggin retarded monkey can do sign language and recognize words and letters, you'd think a tech could tell the difference between 5w-20 and 5w-30.

i'd like to add for everyone who had their s/c installed by the dealer, to go back and get them to retorque the bolts to specs after 800 miles or so.
i found loose bolts on brackets and such on my bro's s/c. They were already torqued to spec when he first go it. But its common for things to move during the breakin period, which calls for retorquing.

invest in torque grip and torque stripe. Yes, things do tend to get shaken loose after a while. So does your lugs nuts. I almost found that out the hard way. Thank God that I was tooling along when I started feeling a weird vibration.
