Supercharger Here...

[TigerFish]

100% markup is the norm on retail goods. Be it a Supercharger or a mug. Misrepresenting goods is not the norm. Whichever way you look at it, Dave advertised them as "New", Asi and Patrik contacted Dave and he held them back (for shipping purposes) as they had already sold them to Markus. Asi and Patrik quite rightly thought they were getting chargers that Dave had previously owned and advertised as new. One way or another, Dave knew they were not going to get what they thought they were getting, which was new chargers. In my book, that is pretty damn poor especially after the all the holier than thou sh*t stirring with TDI we had to put up with from Dave.

A few facts for the record

..Prolex did not state that the chargers were brand new, in fact Prolex never stated anything !

Good job you have this as well Patrik, as it now looks to have gone from Prolex web site

was trying to find this but it was removed as soon as they were sold. goon on patrik he cached it...

but its meaningless as your contract is with Markus !

Well how thing turn around then mate, do you remember me getting some coilovers of Dave Prolex ??? you might of been part of prolex then, i know Zee was ?

Well i did and the top mounts was not the right one's, and i bet you know what im about to say next................... well he said not his problem, i had to sort with Alex from H/kong, as thats where he got them from :o seens different now then ?????

Never did get my money back thinking about things now :o but as i said before, who needs mates like Dave :winky:

[Asi]

patrik you got the charger yet?

[P.Lindblom]

patrik you got the charger yet?

Not yet, mate. I've at least discovered that there are two packages, weighting 11,9 and 19,2 kg. I only got the tracking number for one of them, but the other one has arrived here in Enköping. The heavier package arrived in Stockholm 4am today, so it just has a few more miles to go. Hopefully I can pick it up on my way home from work, in about two hours.

[Rob's Lexx]

so not shipped to you all in one box as it should/would have been from TTE when they were made and packaged. hope its all ok mate, but i'd suspect it may be a similar case to asi's???

[Asi]

well im sure it is similar to mines due to it all coming form dave and dave said they were all in the same condition. well you never know lets see what happens.

[P.Lindblom]

Finally... I've picked up my supercharger kit and I've got nothing else to say than I'm totally happy with it :)

Everything was neatly packaged in bubble wrap and the supercharger was sealed with tape. I would lie if I told you everything is brand new, but the most important part is the supercharger itself. I took it to the only Swedish Lexus mechanic who's been working with the TTE superchargers, for his opinion. He told me I should go with this one and I agree. I'm not entirely sure how the charger should look on the inside, but it doesn't look used at all from what I can see. I took a few photos for you to judge. There is some corrosion on the outside, but I can easily rub most of it off using one of my fingers. The airbox is a mk1 model, made of FRP. I spoke to Friedel Beyer at TTE earlier today and he explained what the differences are between the mk1 and mk2 supercharger kits.

[Asi]

looks good mate. as long as your happy with it thts the main point.

Very good news Patrik, well pleased for you :D

[Mr Mole]

Well done mate !!

If only asi got one like that, then it would be a happy club again

[Steviewevie]

Nice one Patrik. I'm very far from an expert () but that looks to me like a set that hasn't been used at all but has just been in storage for a long time.

[Yeldarb]

Looks good to me.

I wonder if Dave-Prolex inspected Asi's? and it was a genuine mistake??????

[84Stoney]

A small point, that may have already been mentioned. A fully new TTE kit would not come with an HKS FCD, but with the TTE "little black box" possibly later versions may be "little silver box".

[Rob]

the supercharger looks good - the rotor lobe edges are perfect - i would say its never been used.

Ask friedel for the newer spring for the bypass as you have the older spring which can break.

I would also replace the 3 small screw on the fron of the supercharger pulley for higher quality items as the originals are quite soft and can break

[Asi]

just wish i had a kit like that but oh well its life. well sent it back so should get refund some time soon and buy the kit off gord mate.

[Asi]

dont know if it was a genuine mistake.

No, nether do I really. It would be nice to think you weren't deliberately ripped off, We will never know though.

[Asi]

suppose but as long as i get my money back im happy.

i would definately agree with this and recommend it to another supercharger owner.

[Asi]

which 3 springs are those. where would you get them from as i will replace them when i get my kit. i was also wondering where would i find a new belt from?

no mate - 3 screws on the front of the pulley - change them for higher quality items as the originals are weak and will snap over time, also ask TTE for the revised spring to open the bypass.

for the belt and motor factor will have or can get them its a 5pk800 belt, if you cant get a 800 belt get one a bit smaller.

sorry rob i meant the 3 scres in the first post. where would i find the screws and links like eBay etc. i would email tte soon. any link to belt.

[Rob]

no need for a link to a belt, any car spares place will have or be able to get them.

for bolts i have ordered from here before and would suggest a bolt like this http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/stainlessbol...634Q2ec0Q2em322 you will need to remove the original screw and measure it and when replacing remember to use a bit of thread lock.

[Asi]

i would be nice if some one measures them and let me know so i could buy before i get the charger

thanks

[Rob]

no need to do that - they wont fail for ages but prevention is better than cure......as i found out! when u get yours, just measure a screw - job done.
