what do you mean failed valve springs that are a know problem? they weren t a problem even in 2013 recalled cars, let alone a 2019. What happened?

Valve springs failed and had to be replaced. There was a recall for those valve springs at the time.

my bad i read 2019 and didn't notice you meant just the header, you actually have a 2014 car
that's unfortunate, not many people broke valve springs, no chance to make the recall before the accident ?

My car was not included in the recall by a small margin. Yet, the valves springs still failed. Either supercharger pushed the springs over the limit or they were going to fail anyway. But, since Toyota refused warranty they suggested using after market springs rated for more power. I wish I had the ability to do this myself. Then, I had to troubleshoot problems created by their work. It seems the car is back to normal working condition now. Thanks!

Supercharged did not cause springs to fail.

Good to know. I was not confident to say that. Thanks!
