[QUOTE="blue88mustang, post: 2903894, member: 2716"] Posted by RedfireSVT: The first thing to check is if the stock pulley on the supercharger has been removed,the factory marks it so if it has been removed they and you can tell. If it has been removed or tampered with you can forget about your warranty. This doesn't mean the car is bad but it does indicate it was driven harder in higher boost which is pretty much what we all do.
