is the TRD supcharger worth the $

I have an 08 prerunner and was looking at the TRD supercharger. Local dealer is telling me $7K installed. Is it worth it? Have to admit i dont do much towing, i just dont back off when the light turns green. I am just looking for more power, is the trd sc worth $7k over stock?

 

7k???? lol

 

id do some research you could probly find a better deal

 

Way too much. It should be around $4500 installed. It's one of the best ways to add more power so it's worth it.

 

With a little tuning and some "helper parts" (headers, exhaust, intake, ECU upgrade) you can get way more than the 70 hp gain stated.

 

7k is absurd.

 

imo,(not worth much)no way.my truck runs awsome just the way it is.

 

Did he offer to buy you dinner or at least a backrub first? Thats way too much money installed more like $5K installed from the research I have done.

 

^^^ ha ha ha seriously, that should include cuddle time!

It totally does not surprise me that you got a quote that high. The guys at the dealership in milledgeville, ga. act like your wasting their time even asking for a price....

 

Got mine for $4k shipped then installed it myself. I don't care about the warranty anyway. Lol.

 

for 7K I'll fly out and install it

 

The Dealer In Vegas Said They Would Install It For 5500 Out The door I Would Look Around! Ans That Is With The Warranty

 

Bought my kit on ebay and paid like $1k for it to be put in by my local toyota dealer.....Than later i put in the TRD cai myself

 

mine said $5200

 

Totally worth having....not for 7K tho. Keep shopping for a better deal man.

 

Was it hard to do? I'm good at mechanical stuff, but is there a lot of electrical steps involved?

I want to get one after the 6" lift,35s,regear. I tow a lot and it would definately come in handy...especially on the mountains here.

 

No its very easy. You only have to make 2 electrical connections a power wire for a relay and a power wire for the pump. Honestly the hardest thing is putting on the new crank pulley over the existing pulley, and then having to torque it to 180ft.lb (if you have a auto trans) I've installed a few others and can do one in about 4.5-5hrs.

 

I just bought a JayFeather camper 3500 lbs dry weight and am considering the TRD supercharger. The tacoma struggles going up hills with the camper. Is there anyone towing a considerable amount a weight that notices a big difference after having the supercharger installed? I'm also wondering if its worth the money. I do a lot of camping in the mountains am always going up hills. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

 

Guys, they are reall easy to install, i installed one on my T-100 with the 3.4 took me 4 hrs in my garage with my son handing me tools and we weren't busting butt. Real easy to install. Shop around.
