TRD supercharger questions
i'm getting a TRD supercharged Tc with the trd axle back and clutch kit, and suspension. My question is....will the cold air intake from TRD be compatible with the supercharger??? Lastly, can i increase my boost on my supercharger with a boost controller from greddy, etc????

You can probably make the TRD intake work if you cut it a bit. No one has tried it yet, but it would definitely require a bit of custom work.
You will realize this yourself when you get your supercharger installed... you can not raise boost on the supercharger with an electronic device like a turbo car can. Your supercharger is a belt driven unit that has a pulley attached to its shaft. The speed of the pulley determines the amount of boost that the supercharger will make.
Do yourself a favor and visit www.NonStopTuning.com and take a look at their project tC. Then take a look at the pulleys they have for the supercharged tC and you will be good to go!

cool, thanks for answering the question about the CAI and s/c. Someday....in the dustant future I hopefully will ge the TRD s/c. i should probably just save the money that I was gonna use on the CAi towards the s/c. thanks for the help!

if you're going for times, get the turbonetics if you can afford it. if you're going for a car that is alot more fun to drive, go for the s/c, which will give you more low end power and cost you less.

there have been some impressive numbers from the turbonetics, but I'd still go with the s/c. it won't do as much for your track times, but like you said, it's cheaper, and like I said, it'd be way more fun to drive. it's all in what you're going for.

The best time for any SC'ed tC on this site is a 14.3.. That's with a good launch, alot of bolt-ons, and a smaller pulley. Most of the SC'ed tC's don't even run that fast.
Not worth the money at all.

Well I dont know theres like maybe 15 or so people with the tn kit and at least 5 of them have posted some kind of problem. I know I dont spend any time at the track either, I just want to know that I can hang with a 13 sec car
