The s/c has it's pros:
No Boost Spikes
Reflash with all the fuel maps no need for Dyno tuning
Plus if you sell your car it has more value with the s/c I think people would be more willing to buy a car with oem f/i than aftermarket f/i.
Just my thoughts

The Dealer told My friend that the S/Cer lowers the value of the car.

i would think the basic reason why the car would be worth less with the SC is because as a buyer, your looking or dependability and overall quality when reviewing a car for purchase. so when you see that someone has installed a SC, first thing that may come to mind, is this car has been worked or driven hard. even though it may have been dealer serviced, and kept under warranty, the safest bet when selling the car would be to pull off the SC and sell them seperately. just my thoughts...

Weird I was offered by 2 different dealrships 2k more than the blue book value for my car for the trd s/c and trd springs and sway bar. About 2 weeks ago I guess maybe it goes by where you live.
