Yeah I know exactly what you're saying. Most techs think they know it all and you know nothing.

The two scion guys at my dealership made sure the foreman and the mechanic installing my supercharger were doing it correctly and to spec (it was their first sc install).

They did an excellent job and I highly recommend Sport City Toyota to anyone in the Dallas metroplex.

I believe most of the supercharger problems people are having are due to improper installation. 9 or 9.5 psi pulleys are not the problem. However, according to warranty conditions, it voids warranty.

-NEMESIS-

i agree.... i think it is improper installation.

I just got my s/c installed yesteday - and the guy that installed mine installed another guys on the forum and he hasnt had any problems now and its been months ...so we shall see.

Well at mine he's installed 3 that I'm aware of. The first one has a leak and the other two don't so he must've found the torque specs after the first, lol. He's a cool guy though, seems to know his stuff pretty well.

its a good deal for what you get. my car is now quicker but easily a daily driver. if you want more power you would need to perform some other mods along w/ the s/c.
If you added 47-52whp w/ the s/c - if you wanted to add a 9.5pully and get a tune and people are running around 240something whp (just something for people to think about). thats like adding another 100% of what your supercharger gave you. If you think of the s/c is a stage one and after your warranty or after 1yr (however it works out for you) ...you can add a decent amount of added power for $1g.

My answer is - I like it. And for the actual amount of added $ compared to a turbo - it wins.

Excellent...Yeah I love playing with my car now...lots of fun to show up the civics with ease now.

Bump to bring this thread back from the dead!

It may just be a coincedence that those with problems after installing pulleys could be the ones who were the first of us to have their installations performed at the dealer; therefore, those mechanics might not have had prior warning to be very careful with the torque-ing. It is entirely possible after the first round of complaints came in about the leaks TRD warned their mechanics about torque-ing the bolts. But this is all conjecture of course.

they havent told my mechanics anything at my dealership
