No More Superchargers

Search 4050705 on eBay, I bought one for 2012 because the model# was not updated, I'm pretty sure there's no difference between 2012-2015

 

What were the numbers?

 

I can't believe I actually did it but I broke down this morning and pulled the trigger on a TRD blower from a Toyota dealer out in Texas. Apparently it was the last one in stock. Scored it for $3688 shipped to my doorstep. However, that price is before the fit kit and the URD stealth series pulley I'll be adding to it. Total will be somewhere around 43-4400 including the dealer ECM reflash.

Fueling will be handled by my AEM 320lph E85 capable fuel pump to handle the flow demands from the new blower.

This is my first blower I can't believe I'm finally going to have an FI vehicle. Holy crap! I feel like a total schoolgirl right now! I can't wait for that supercharger whine that everyone longs over having. Lmao.

 

Awesome, man! I think you made a great decisions and you're obviously jazzed about it. I'm excited for you by just reading your post!

 

Drove mine a bit yesterday. Great low end. Thing rattles quite a bit at idle, the pamphlet says its normal but I'm surprised how loud it is. And I haven't heard people talk about it much. I did read that it should quiet down a little as it breaks in. FYI.

 

That's cool man!!!! I felt the same way, I was so hesitant. I'm so happy I finally did it as well. I put my deposit down on Tuesday but have to wait til next Thursday/Friday for the fit kit to arrive. This is also my first FI vehicle. As of now I won't be doing any pulley/fuel pump combos.

 

Any idea or reason why?

 

I figure by doing the pulley before it is installed it will satisfy my needs for a quicker revving blower which will in turn build more boost. I was forced to change my fuel pump after after a freak failure about a month or two ago. Looking at it this way, it actually worked out to my benefit because this pump will handle everything and anything I'll ever want to do to it power wise. The truck has turned into a total slug after adding all the armor I have to it. It'll be nice to get an easier cruising vehicle on the freeway as well as a better ability to maintain speed on inclines on the highway. Not to mention better pickup when I'm out doing my high speed wheeling. I won't have to bury the pedal all the time in order to just get up to speed or to keep it maintained on large inclines which tend to slow me down more often then not.

The way I see it, it's a high initial cost, yes, but a necessary one to keep up with the ever building list of mods which insists on weighing this big slug down due to the weight it adds. I could only see this benefitting me in the end.

 

For a 2012 I'd pay the dealer to install just for the warranty. But you may have bigger plans.

 

It's loud. It's normal. So loud and normal that they had to put a pamphlet specific to just the noise in the literature.

 

I can't believe you got a supercharger for less than 4k. Why would the dealer go that low?

 

Cool!!! I want it loud!!!

 

Why what??

 

Why Toyota isn't gonna make them anymore.

 

I don't think it's really out yet exactly why....mostly just speculation.

 

I paid 4400 for all parts and 4900 OTD after labor.

 

I've heard closer to 6 after all warrantied labor. You are lucky!

 

Oh I know....I paid average. Everything here by me is shooting up and fit kits are getting scarce.

 

Good for you. Unfortunately I guess I'll never get the charger. I'd go with URD but I've heard things go boom

 

I've honestly never have looked into urd. I like the reliability that the trd blower seems to have.
