I understand where they're coming from, they don't know if I've brought a cheap factory outlet version of SC, or a knock off Korean version.
Might be worth checking with your local dealers first.

This is the dealership that refused to install my tein s-techs (again I totally understand as they aren't OEM in anyway) and then tried to sell me the TRD Spring install for a grand cost of almost $900, I actually laughed down the phone, and then said ".....errmmm wait you're being serious aren't you...?!?!" the poor lady at the other end was just doing her job, she seemed somewhat surprised by my reaction.

So... of all the people that said they were gonna get the s/c. It appears only a few of us have ordered it. Anyone else gonna live up to their word? Mine should be at my door the middle of next week. The best price for install I found was 600 dollars. I should have mine installed by next weekend. I don't know of a dyno shop around where I live, but I'll be sure to give my first impressions of the highly anticipated supercharger. In other words, I'll give you all my butt dyno readings.

awesome! I'm getting mine in March-May 06 range, because its almost winter, and I have other things to spend $ on, and I store my car....so I will get it after winter...
Cant wait to see some impressions of it....I hope my dealer installs one on a demo car , or can meetup with somebody who has it installed, so I can see what I think.

i'm savin money now~ man being a part time worker sucks but I guess I have no choice since i'm in college. But it seems about right cuz when I have saved up enough money in 2~3 months, I can also see some dyno result on the sc, then i can decide whether or not i want to get it.

oh and btw everyone, this is IMPORTANT: I have just told by a close friend that works at toyota dealership and he said that for those who still are getting the s/c and installing them, if you still have the stock exhaust/muffler, you better upgrade it b/c according to some "result" or w/e they have tested, it shows that the stock exhaust/muffler isn't good enough to allow the air flows thru? I'm not sure about that part and dont understand much; however, i guess it makes sense to me that keeping the stock one will be kinda bad for the engine. This is just a little warning i have received and wish to share with anyone who's getting the s/c.

adding an aftermarket header and full exhaust will free up the traveling path of the exhaust, there for making it easier for the SC to push out that exhaust... so basically, a full exhaust system will free up some ponies

Dude, do u have to attack me on every thread i post? I'm just trying to help ppl here and the reason why I post on couple similar threads is b/c not everyone has the time to read every thread about s/c and the reason I did not post a link is b/c most ppl find that more troublesome than reading it directly. It doesnt matter if u think u did attack me or not, this is just bothering so just stop it .
