Default TRD Supercharger info site (not tC specific)

Like I said, it isn't specific to the SC being made for the tC, but it is still about a TRD supercharger, so I'd assume that some of the info would be relevant. I found this linked in the F/I section of the Matrix boards (best source of info I've found on existing TRD chargers so far- getting impatient hehe!)- pretty interesting read:

I doubt most of the info is relevant actually considering the s/c for the tC is a centrifugal not a roots like previous models.

They BREIFLY mentioned the centrifugal supercharger type, but also accuse all toyota's of using the older, less efficient methods.

Good post on SCs, but not too relevant for the tC specific setup.

Yep, it may not be that relevant but it has some nice general info on SC's for those who are curious. Actually, the most relevant section to me was some of the side-effects he reported, in particular issues he had with his automatic tranny (true, its a different auto than the tC's auto, but some of the same things could crop up on automatic tC's with the supercharger.)

Oh, and nice link to Vortech's site- going to read that now
