I actually had to look in a few autoparts stores and finally had to ask for the T47 (and no, Bill, I don't have a SC... ).
Just ask is the answer....

Someone somewhere is laughing daily at these kinds of questions..I know they are... because they chose the bolt and knew we'd wonder.

Thanks for the heads up on where to get the T47. I went to the dealer today and they can order in the replacement for a whopping $8.50 for one bolt. But they're the only place to get it from so they can charge whatever they want.

Holy smokers, that'* a chunk of change! Did you check the hardware stores? I'd certainly be hitting the junkyards before I pad that kind of money for a bolt...but, I'm cheap that way. Perhaps Boosty has something like that in mind, or has one?

On a side note: I'm amazed that the SSEi can actually be driven with the supercharger belt unhooked. I can't fathom how it is able to get any air that way. :?

I'm assuming it'* Torx. I think it would have worked fine had i not used a 1/4" allen to turn it the first time. In all honesty i think with the T50 i could use it and it would be fine, but I would rather spend $8.50 on a new bolt than god knows how much to have the bolt removed once it was completely rounded out.
Suprisingly the car runs fine without the SC hooked up. My temperature is still right at 180 degrees and it runs smooth. The only thing it'* missing is the whine and the extra power. Regardless, I am really hoping the bolt comes in tomorrow because if i have to wait for it to come from Lansing it could be 3-5 days.
