My dealer may screw me over and not cover my broken idler pulley under warranty, forcing me to purchase a new supercharger. So i say to myself...might as well buy a better one!

So...anyone know where I can get an aftermarket supercharger for the MCS?

I know m7 is developing one, any news on that?

BBR in the UK could probably set you up nicely, be prepared to shell out a good amount of cash though (around $4500-5000 all said and done probably).

good luck and let us know how it goes.

The idler pulley is not part of the supercharger.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Call another dealer! Can you give us the whole story? How did you bust the idler? I know BBR in the UK has a "high performance Cosworth idler" whatever that means.

Call BBR, I believe they offer a modified Cosworth idler pulley which they claim is better.
