I feel as though my SC is on the verge of crapping out (if it hasn't) already. I hear a rather loud clicking or clunking sound coming from the housing when it idles. Also, when I rev it up and hold it at about 2000 RPMs, it will go from -20 to about -10v on the boost gauge and immediately drop back down to -20ish (where it sits at idle), also it will sometimes get to 5psi in 4th gear, if I am lucky.

So my main question is: Should I rebuild this thing to get more out of it, as money is tight, or am I better off saving the $$ for a new one? And if I should rebuild it will one of these kits work?

Thank you for your help!

Sounds like its gone bro... sorry to say

 

if that's the case, will driving it like that hurt anything else? also, what should I replace it with?

 

sounds like its time for a TVS swap!

you'll be cranking around 300 hp by then! and i think the sc's from tvs go for around 2k... i think its aorund the same as stock one but i could be wayyy off. just trying to help, sorry if yours really went out

 

I start a new job next week allowing me to save up some money while using a company vehicle, which is good timing I suppose ( although this kinda thing is never good ). Can you provide me with any direct links for the tvs sc, or any replacement that would work?

Thanks for the help thus far.

 

Clunking like a rock tumbler?

Could just be the coupler, which is a $50 dollar fix. Just replaced mine, it's an easy job. ZZP sells them, be sure to get the SC oil with it.

If it truly has gone out, looking around for a used stock one is always an option. For the price to rebuild yours, you can usually find a used stock one.

Or it is a great time to upgrade to the TVS.

 

check ur bypass valve first

 

What steps would I take to check it? this is my first car I have had with a SC and I have only had it for less than a year, with this being the first issue. :x

 

theres a how to on here i think somehwere

 

Yeah, I am hoping this is all it is. I wont be able to take it a part until SAT to truly find-out..

 

Just be sure to have more SC oil on hand no matter what, since it leaks out as soon as you open it up.

 

Okay will do, thanks for the heads up!
