What kind of rattle? Your warranty is shot though since you have headers.

Yeah, toyota is so **** about their warranty. Its gone if you even change the BPV. I had a cut out in my exhaust (after the cats) and they voided my warranty for that.

My dealer installed it with the header in place, if they want to fight me fine, once the unit really craps out, then I'll just rebuild it, I knew what I was going to get myself into. My mods are: DME header 2.5" full header back exhaust system and a crank pulley, see the thing is, it might be normal, its really hard to tell since I've only had the S/C for about 3 weeks now, its hard to describe the rattle, I do feel it sometimes when i am holding the steering wheel, its almost like when I was N/A and I would put on the A/C.

i dont know, i was the first one to hear and get an updated reflash on here. if i did upgrade the pulley it would just be to the 9.5 though, and i would want to check that.

but i dont think that they would have changed that much to make it not work and i would bet that anyone getting a supercharger install since i got the updated one months ago would get the new reflash to begin with.

I have the new reflash and Im running the pulley and an intake with no problems here. The car is much more fun to drive with the pulley.
