Just my luck! Defective magnacharger.........
I was driving home the other day and I heard an unhealthy noise coming from the engine. I investigated and concluded it was coming from the maggie. I drove to my mechanic and had the supercharger pulled off and I sent it back to magnacharger. Got a call today to find out it has a bearing going. I only have about 2000 miles on it!! They are going to rebuild the whole thing and send it back. they said it will take about a week and a half and then another week in shipping. Good thing it's only Spring here in Atlanta......

Your lucky they didn't catch you driving that around on the highways. The stick on the back of mine clearly states "For Off Road Use Only".

You are supposed to pull that sticker off after the MagnaCharger calibration has been laoded into your SSR. I just cant see your SSR OffRoad.

Well two weeks after receiving my blower, they finally rebuilt it and said they are shipping it back today. Hopefully, I'll be back running by next weekend.

You will actually get slightly better milage after the installation so long as you can keep your foot out of it.

I think 2to3 weeks is a crock. I don't call that stepping up to the plate. Speaking of the plate, Yankees just beat the SOX.
