DIY Guide on TRD Supercharger!
For those that are interested on what all is involved with the TRD Supercharger install, I uploaded a 58 step/photo guide of the process when we had ours installed at the dealership.

Is there a reason you're not getting the supercharger installed by a dealer? Figuring that dealers charge between 300 and 500 for an average installation...isn't it worth it to keep things under warranty? Anyway, not flaming you or anything, just asking an honest question.

hwo do you guys with the s/c like them? I want to get some F/I goin.. but deciding which to do. the s/c is obviously cheaper but I also want to be able to keep up with the big boys. kinda torn between what to do.. s/c means power faster for me.. cause i could buy it sooner than a turbo.. but turbo's have more room for gains in more power.. soo confused

if you want to keep up with the big boys, you need Turbo.
And u will need the dealer to reflash for the Supercharger.
I go with the SC because it is cheaper than Turbo and i need the warranty. (few people have their SC bracket broken)
The dealer quot me $800 for installation. I am going to get it done next Tuesday.
If u got the skill to install Supercharger, why not go with Turbo instead?

I'm a "DIY" person. I'll probably go with a Dezod TB.. but since they're opening up a facility in AZ.. I'll just drive down and have the thing installed and tuned correctly.
The S/C seems kinda disappointing for power.. and i don't know if the whine is loud enough for me.. though I haven't heard many of them so *shrug* we'll see.
