Default No 08 Super charger?

Dealer says they dont have them in and will call me when they come in.
Says they aren't released yet.
WTF?

I believe if I am not mistaken that it has something to do with a bolt? Something that is different on the '08. Maybe I am crazy though?

no, the 08 and 07 tc's are identical mechanically, the 08's just got new head and tail lights.

go to another dealer or order it from another dealer then show up at your dealer with it. They will feel llike idiots and then maybe you can get a reduced install.

I live in Hawaii, no other dealers around.
2ndly, they refuse to install any parts they dont order and sell to me themselves. They sell the parts including install costs.

Well then you're stuck with a lousy dealer if there is no other one around.

You always have the option of self-install, but you'll still need the reflash.

If you've got an 07 or 08, that's a pretty good price installed. Make sure the install includes the TRD reflash too.

Idont see how it wouldn't. They warranty the work when its done, if they dont reflash it she'll run very very rich and cause alot of problems later down the road. Is there anyway to actually CHECK that it was flashed properly?

I only mention it because some dealers have no idea what they're doing, and forget to do the simple things.

ok since i dont know squat about superchargers and what not, if i get one from the dealership and have them install it ( that way it wont void my warranty if its screwed up) how much would they charge to install it? also other than getting the s/c, is there other parts that i have to buy for the car or does it all come with every for the 3200?
