2 yr old + Bolt + Supercharger Horn = : (

So long story short I was working on my car and my 2 year old daughter I guess thought she was helping and dropped one of the intercooler bolts into the supercharger horn.

I hadn't realized she had done this until I tried to drive my car down the street and heard a loud metal on metal sound and then the car died.

So I pulled off my supercharger last night and this is what I found.

Ouch, sorry to see.

If you're in the market for a new supercharger we have one on hand ready to ship. Unfortunately, I won't be able to give you the full core refund, but I can definitely work out a fair number for what's left of your charger.

At the moment I only have a charger ready for a reduction pulley, which you can select in the options on the link pasted below.
