You ain't lying. It's terrible how much the price shot up for all these parts for the SC. I remember we when the nose cone kit was $200. Now it's almost $600. Supply and demand at its finest.

You can get the kit from Magnuson as well. I believe it was $150 last time I called, would need to confirm it comes with both bolts, bracket and tensioner.

Like SCRunner said, you can get them through Magnuson for much cheaper. I've actually got a brand new bracket and one of the bolts needed for it that came from Magnuson. You could just purchase the other through Magnuson. PM me if interested

So I just picked up a used SC and I think I've assembled all the parts I need to install, but am missing the correct transmission/throttle bracket for my 2000. I seem to have the 2001+ bracket. Anyone got a spare they'd be willing to part with? I'd rather not buy the whole kit from Toyota...

I may have the bracket. I'll take a look.

Magnuson now sells the parts individually. I can say this with complete confidence, as I just ordered a throttle cable bracket, tensioner bracket, and that impossible to find bolt that everyone is always searching for.

That's the one I've got too, but a big thanks to shootmymime who had one of his fab'd brackets that I was able to order!

It just goes from the brass barb to the Fuel Pressure Regulator:
If you ever need to tap a line for boost pressure this is the one to do it on.

What did you decide on the plate itself, is it still needed to support the nose cone on the 1st gen or can we ditch the whole plate when we put on the dynamic tensioner?

I ditched it. Looks like it was just the place TRD decided made sense to add the third mount to the static idler. I havent noticed any issues without it.

Awesome, thanks for the update!

Does anyone have a 2nd gen SC on their car and near south orange county in California? Just for me to listen to haha so I know what it's supposed to sound like, all I have are YouTube videos. I recently rebuilt my supercharger with parts from Rolling Performance, and now it sounds worse than it did before. I replaced rotor bearings, coupler, and nose ball bearings.
At idle it sounds fine, but as soon as I shift into gear, it sounds like a diesel. And the noise sounds like it'd coming from the rotors, not the nose.
I even pulled it apart again today, checked everything out and made sure nothing was rattling around in there. Part of me thinks it's the rotors hitting the housing when under load...
Anyways, if anyone's around OC and wants to grab lunch or something one day, let me know. Or of anyone has any input on my problem, feel free to chime in.

I'm obviously not close to you, but mine is pretty silent. I can't even hear it unless I really punch the gas. Not sure if that helps at all.

It is normal for it to "rattle" at idle but the noise should go away once you give it any throttle. So yeah, something is not right. At higher throttle it should "whine" but no rattling or excessive noise.
