TTE supercharger problems
TTE supercharger problems
Thanks for any help !!!

Hi guys, I am looking for a TTE supercharger kit. Except bearings, what else can be a problem with the charger itself? What should I check before I buy one? I have seen one making some noise at idle, is it possible that the charger can be damaged inside somehow? Do the internals last for long or is the charger limited by mileage somehow?
Thanks for any help !!!

Hi mate, as 2tongues mentioned eaton superchargers are reliable and lifetime units. In some occations thought some have problems with the bearings due to the aging of the superchargers. In general you won't hear problems with the TTE SCs.

From accounts of those with chargers, there seem to be good ones and bad ones, ones which give more power than others. No idea why (e.g. if a service might help a "bad" one ?).

This is the small piece of electronics that lies to the stock ECU to stop it seeing too much fuel being put in. A lot of people replace these with the more reliable HKS FCD, though that isn't quite as "good" as the TTE black box in the way it works.
