hey guys... i wanted to know how much a gm supercharger is installed by gm. of course i dont want to make the same mistakes of some people who dont go through gm and get screwed on the warranty thanksmark

Look forward to spending about $3-4k total! I'll be there in about 2 weeks if you want to test it before you buy!

Contact your local GM dealer for a price installed. Installation price will vary geographically.

also, what year do you have? that will also make a difference.

well, that's what i meant. lol. sorry... should have clarified.

I see you have a 2006. GM's supercharger is made for the '03-'04 Vibe. You would need the '05-'06 S/C custom adapter plate being offered on http://www.matrixowners.com and http://www.9thgencorolla.com in order to have the GM S/C on your Vibe. GM will not install it on the '05-'06 Vibe. You will have to install it yourself and just have the 1yr. warranty on the S/C parts only. Sorry.

And you will need a management system for A/F mixture etc. Greddy E-Manage, Camcon etc.

yeah,, u can check all about the new adapter plate thats made.. http://www.9thgencorolla.com/f...art=0

ok! im crying now hahah well i ordered a K&N Typhoon cai... should be here wed... had some 12 volt wires caped today, and my sirius satalite radio hard wired.... going to put some red underdash led's in tomorow.. i guess this is what i get for having a 06 huh?? i need to upgrade my engine to handle the extra hp from a supercharger anyway.. so i have to hold off anyway.. maybe by that time they will have one for the 06

They won't be making one for the '06 Vibe but you can use the '03-'04 S/C with the adapter plate mentioned above and there is no need to upgrade the engine with the S/C.

man... alright...really appreciate your help! i went to the dealer... and they have no idea what their talking about..

Hit me up and let me know where you're at in McKinney. Maybe we can meet up while I'm there in a couple of weeks.

In order to make the 06 work.. U need the Supercharge itself. And u must need the Adapter plate. ANd finally emanage.

I stopped into the dealer and asked for a price and they couldn't even quote me a price. pissed me off. he thought 3 grand just for the supercharger. even with my GM discount that would be pricey if its just for the charger. might have to look at TRD's

TRD is a LOT cheaper, but I don't know about their install fees.

cheapest i found a TRD is like 2450 for the kit. Install could be done by your self but if you want the "warranty" which only applies to the SC then get it installed at a dealership which i dunno what they charge to install.

Especially if it says TRD on the s/c!I took mine in once to get checked out and right after I told them it was s/c'ed, they said that they might not be able to help me cause they don't normally work on s/c'ed engines. Never trust the dealership for anything any more. They always give me a hard time cause I 'messed' with the car, or they tell me it's a toyota and I should have them look at it. Then at the Toyota dealership they argued with me saying that their instraments wont plug into my car because it's a Pontiac. Screw the dealership and do it your self! It's not that hard at all. Cheaper and more fun. Once it's done and running good you'll feel closer to your car.

yea im going to do like what lancer did, get a TRD SC and install my self. I have some mechanic friends and hopefully ill have a job to pay someone if it comes down to it. but waiting 2 yrs blows!!

Pontiac said they didn't have the right tools to test or work on it, and Toyota said they couldn't work on it b/c I was warrantied through GM and it would all be out of pocket!
