will dealer install a used s/c and still warranty it?
basically I bought a used supercharger and I got a quote from my dealer (6 hours = 600 bux!) but I didn't tell them it was used they assumed it was new so will they warranty it? and the other thing is I have a friend who works in the service department who will most likely be installing it so if I tell him that its used but not the dealer will I b ok? thanks

when the supercharger is new the dealer that installs it sends the TRD warranty card ( which is packaged with the charger) to TRD with the Vehicles VIN # on the car which it is installed.
The answer to that question would be no pretty darn sure.

Uhhh, here's a question for you. Have you talked to the dealer at all regarding an install? I had to call 6-8 different dealers to have them install my supercharger after I purchased it. Reason being is that TRD has a reflash tool (not the module that the supercharger comes with, it's another tool that connects to the module which then connects to the reflashing computer) that costs $800. Not all dealers have them. The dealership that I went to had one because one of the employees was gonna supercharge but he decided against it. Not all dealerships will wanna spend an extra $800 on a tool that they won't get use out of. I ask this because normally dealerships will charge anywhere from $500-$800 for an install. Therefore, if you're the first tC that they'll be doing the install on that means that there isn't that big of a market for the supercharger where you live so they'd wind up LOSING money & won't want to purchase the tool.

Ask the dealer, because if they've never installed a supercharger on a tC before chances are they don't have it and probably won't want to get it unless they have 2-3 other tC's lined up for an install cuz they won't make any money.
