I had our parts manager check on the status of the updated TRD Supercharger for the 2007 tC.

There are 143 units scheduled to arrive in LA in three (3) weeks. There are a few region employees who already have them installed on their demo tC's.

just a FYI, hopefully this helps.

 

the biggest fuss right now is will it have a front mount intercooler

 

* i forgot to add

and if you can verify this pix from your parts manager or directly with the dealers who have them installed.

Intercooler? I wish...

 

WOW!!! Is it just me or does it say TRD on the header heat shield.

 

if im not wrong isnt that an intercooler in the second picture ??? or is it a radiator with trd painted jus like the cobalt ss makes it look like an intercooler

 

I think the next important question is... Is it going to give more power then the first S/C ???
I want a S/C that will at least compete with stage 0 turbo powerwise !

 

is it true?

like seriously.. did hte 07 supercharger come out yet?

im going to my dealer on monday for an oil change, im gonna have to ask to make sure. THIS IS AWESOME, i have almost enough money saved up to buy the supercharger.. just need a little bit more. ill be boosted this summer if its true. !!!!!!!

 

The cobalt ss/sc has a heat exchanger for their water to air intercooler. The radiator is behind it. :D

Hopefully the tC will be the same.

 

Bwah, beat me to it, it's a heat exchanger.

 

deffinetly would liek to see if they offer an add on intercooler. Although intercoolers have shown to not be good for this supercharger. I wonder what changes they made if they did add one.

 

Maybe it is not an IC at all... maybe it is a heat exchanger for a water to air IC just like the cobalt SS.

 

Its got to be...

 

^ Look Up.

 

wait im confuesed is it a intercooler or heat exchanger whats a heat exchanger and then the next question will be can you make the intercooler or the whole supercharger from the 07 work on the 06 with a few mods???

 

The TRD 07 SC is currently going through EPA testing.

 

whats your guys' definition of a heat exchanger? i consider an intercooler a heat exchanger, as well as a radiator.

 

Heat Exchanger is used to transfer heat from fluids. IE: Air to Water
Intercooler is strictly Air to Air cooling.

 

The pictures posted further up are of an 06 tc with a one off intercooler owned by a dealership in CA. This is quickly turning into the same thread as the last 07 sc thread where it went nowhere and was alot of speculation with supposed proof.

 

went to the dealership today, and asked them about the supercharger.

and of course, they said NO.. they were looking at the old catalog, and said that there is no difference however in the 07 and 06, and that it will fit with no problem, and they will install and everything for $4500.

i really hate dealers.. im about to call TRD to say what they say.
