Last I heard, it was on its way back to me. Might get it hopefully this weekend. Turns out the problem was caused by me installing the pulley retainer backwards. Just call me an idiot :rolleyes: They would not cover it  Thats an expensive mistake I wont be making again!

Well they better not even try to pull any crap with me about not installed correctly or whatever. Everything in mine was installed accordingly to their instructions and prior even starting the car everything was checked in triplicate.

Argh! You guys are scaring me off the supercharger gambit! And I'm hesitant to be on the 'bleeding edge' of turbo technology... The wife suggested that I just buy a muscle car for going fast in a straight line, and keep the SVT more or less stock for the twisties. Can't I have my cake and eat it, too?

Grossly under-engineered, thrown together and shipped with a band-aid. I'd take a custom prepped turbo anyday. But then again the turbo would work on my 00 SVT. The S/C does not... If you are really scared. Just plop in a 3L. That's a new engine and is half the price and nearly all the performance (trading TQ for HP - hard to tell the difference from a stop to 100)
