Questions & Answers
I am not sure. Buick uses the same charger as Toyota, but I have yet to see a Toyota charger.
The Eaton supercharger is included in this package. It has never been my experience to work with a Magnuson supercharger, so I am unable to speculate on whether it will fit. However, I would be surprised if it would fit.
I don't know. I am quite sure it fits the Eaton M90 used in the GM 3800 series Would it be possible if they are the same size coupler?
The only part I needed for my 2002 Grand Prix was one

Even though I had not yet failed my OEM bypass valve, I figured if I was pulling the supercharger anyway to replace it, I might as well replace my old one as well. Despite not knowing if it would fit, I still bought it because the price is right, so I figured I would take the risk. A bit different is the fact that the faces are flush on both sides on this coupler. There is just a slight increase in diameter. As such, it should be able to withstand some rough handling. Compared to the original equipment manufacturer's, the OEM's I feel that the Dorman design is a much better design. It is possible for the holes in the OEM coupler to enlarge over time due to the flanges. The nose assembly would rotate out of concentricity if this were to happen. It is this which causes you to hear the noise. Dorman coupler is made of nylon material, which they claim will stay intact for a longer period of time. Although I am not sure whether this is true. I have not had a good experience with Nylon bushings in the past. I have not yet put any miles on the new replacement yet, but I will inform you if anything went.
In addition, GM has approved the use of Mobil 1 full synthetic 5w-90 when you replace this fluid For many years, I have used the cheap SAE 30 oil instead of expensive GM supercharger oil.
The super charger was part of a Porsche 986 kit that was being replaced. There was a snug fit between the coupler and the coupler pin. This is maybe 1/16" deeper than OEM, but I am not sure if it will cause an issue. There is a slight difference. The rest of the construction appears to be similar to OEM materials and there's nothing apparent to complain about.
I've had no issues with it and everything.
In a '99 Buick Riviera, the noise coming from the supercharger nose cone section was commonly heard at idle. I was able to fix it this way. It surprised me to find that the old one, which simply slid onto and off of the gear studs, was loud enough. This new one fits snugly on the studs and is much quieter.
The unit is of good quality.
The product is good.
