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.

IcetC

dammit lol would I be able to get my hands on one of those forms?

blown_xa

well the form has the serial # printed on it of the charger( from what i remember), from TRD so i doubt they would sent u one.

IcetC

dammit again do u think I can con someone into reproduing one these (i know I am asking for too much but it is woth a try)

IF you were a dealer would you??

IcetC

HELLLL NO! lol but i'm trying to finesse them a little because i will be their first tC to have a s/c done i would've been their first tc with the lip kit too but they never called me back w/ a quote so screw them...

Why don't you ask the dealer?

IcetC

not a bad idea but the reason being is if I mention it they most likely won't want to do it then...

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.

you bring up a really good point I'm gonna question my dealer about this bc the supercharger that I bought will come witht he tool but this module that u speak of scares me a little lol umm thanks for the infro

kiss_kiss_kill

No no. It comes with the module, not the tool. The dealer needs the tool to be able to link the module to your ECU.

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.

IcetC

yea I hear u...idk I'm debating on having another shop install it for me considering its used and it will be an issue for me to have toyota install it for me...he's done trd s/c's b4 and I trust him he tunes all of my friends srt4's and does an amazing job I also might not even go with trd reflash I'm thinking maybe unichip anways if anyone has any other info please let me kniw thanks

kiss_kiss_kill

trd reflash it to be safe.....but hey that's my opinion. With unichip something can go wrong and you're SOL.
