Hi All!! Im new to genvibe. I have been looking for information on forced induction systems for the 2008 vibe. Where can I buy a supercharger? Has anybody installed a turbo on their vibe? Im currently selling my pick-up truck and will be buying a brand new vibe within a couple weeks. Im going for a Salsa Red with the Monotone package, sport package, prefered package, 5-speed, with the darker interior. I have found it difficult to find one just like this but I have finally located one. If I cannot work out a deal on this one I am going to order one the way I like it. Right now there is a $1250 Gm Rebate, I get a $1000 gm loyalty rebate, I have $2,000 in points on my GM credit card towards a purchase of a new gm, and I will have a few thousand left over from the sale of my 2006 silverado. So, I will have to finance about 9000-10,000 for a brand new vibe. Do any of you guys have any advice for me?
The 2009 will have one from TRD, maybe GM too. the 2008 Can have a SC installed, but its the SC kit from the 03-04 vibe/matrix's. AND you have to get an adapter plate so it can fit on your drive by wire setup. Do a search on our forum or the matrixowners.com for adapter plate and supercharger and you'll find some info about them. It can be done, just takes a little extra money and work...oh yeah they dont make those SC's any more but some places still have them.welcome!
Petrucci, hey I couldnt wait till next year. I just couldnt keep spending $60+ to fill up the tank in that silverado and only get 17-18 mpg. This is an update for everyone!! I got my vibe. Its a 2008, Salsa Red monotone, 5-speed, Sunroof, the nicer mag wheels, the darker interior, power windows and door locks, I believe It has everything except for the nicer sound system. but hey, the base sound system works for me!! I am really loving this car!! I can see why everyone here on GenVibe is passionate about their cars. I will upload a photo soon.
Congrats on the new Vibe...and Welcome. Blow that sucker! Here's were I got mine...https://243.monstercommercesit...D=575 Shop around, you may be able to find a better deal.
