I agree a supercharger USUALLY is more reliable than a turbo, but for the tC its just not the case. I know why they went the route they went, but it sucks.
well like i said, i dont know anything about tC's, we just picked one up a few weeks ago for my woman and im here to learn more about it. iv always been into superchargers more than turbos, and i was hoping to eventually s/c my girls car, but from what i have been reading abou the trd kit, i may just take it the turbo route.

i didnt realize it was a centrifugal supercharger you guys are running, im used to dealing with positive displacement roots type blowers, and twinscrews and whatnot. my nighbor has a pro-charged mustang, if im not mistaken the prochargers are centrifugal.
