I just had my trd supercharger installed yesterday. Now this fvckers gots some balls, but the "check engiine light" is on. I know for sure it wasn't before I took it in to get the charger put on. The mechanic said it waqs common after the intake manifold is replaced by a charger because the brain box doesn't recognize the newly installed part. I test drove it for minute yesterday and it is tis now, alot more power and speed. I have the 7th injector kit from URD waiting in the dugout to be put on but, dob't have much money left after the supercharger. What else can I expect after that is installed?

Very interested. Keep us informed. Thinking about same option with my '04 DC. BTW who did you have install it, and may I ask how much? I'd probably attempt it myself, but just curious? Does it need to be tuned afterwards? I increased the charge from 8 psig to 14 psig on my Cobra, and it had to be dyno tuned, to optimize (and protect) the air/fuel ratios.

I bet you $1 that you're running lean and that's why you have the CEL on. Check out urdusa.com for fuel mods to solve your leaning problem, might be wise to look into getting their MAF calibrator too to get the most out of your SC.

it was installed by a mechanic but only charged 60 per hour for a 9 hour procedure. alot better than the toyota shop.
