Default Another Supercharged tC on the block!

Well guys, I watched the UPS truck drove up outside my house and I saw him grabbed a big box that's got "TRD" on the side and I knew it was going to be awesome! I was happily waiting behind my front door when he rang the door bell. I opened the box up to take some pics.

No I'm going to leave everything on the Supercharger as it is...don't wanna screw up my warranty with the Supercharger. It's the whole point of me Supercharging instead of going Turbo. I will keep you guys posted on my status as time gets nearer...I'll revive this thread once I am about to get it and do some kind of count down.

I am going to be so broke when it comes to gas cause I have a feeling I will be driving in full throttle a lot. Right now i'm dumping $35-$40 everytime I fill up, so I am guessing my new amount would be around $50 everytime I fill up.

My gf is also getting a Super White tC and I also want to Supercharge hers as well...but I'll leave it to her. I may help her out with half of the Supercharger...if she's a nice girl.

Yeah, but I'm really excited guys. There really ought to be a finance plan with the Supercharger cause I'll be able to Supercharge when i first bought the car...maybe...

I will post up pics once i get it installed...

Usually gas mileage only decreases 1-2mpg. I have never seen lower than 23mpg since I put the supercharger on. I usually see 27mpg. If I do all highway I have seen 29mpg. It's nice because there is not much of a drop in gas mileage. Just .20 more per gallon.

Lol. Yah I was thinking the same thing. Not to sound like a dick or anything but I dont think you need a new thread just stating you're going to SC your tC in a few months. There are others you could add a reply to stating this.

Not to mention the title needs to be spelled correctly.

Yea, just start a thread when you have pics and some seat time in your new whip. It will probably be more enjoyable.

I went to the dealer today to get a quote for the install and they told me $3996 + tax for everthing. That's sounding a bit high to me, but what do you guys think?

This is from Michael's Toyota/Scion in Bellevue, WA.

Both Toyota/Scion of Lake City in Seattle and Magic Toyota/Scion in Edmonds quoted me $3950. I couldn't find a better deal in the area, so Lake City installed mine.
