Too good to be true?

45k miles is still pretty low, I think TRD estimates +/- 100k miles for a rebuild

 

He bought It for his truck. So he is not the original owner of the supercharger. Also where could I get a rebuild kit? I'm having trouble finding anything on the TRD one. Just magnuson everywhere.

 

With cars, I've learned the hard way that you get what you pay for. If it seems too good to be true, I'd bet the money you think you're saving that it is.

 

The TRD supercharger is the same as the Magnuson one, just without the TRD label anymore. AFAIK the rebuild kit should be the same.

They can do it all.

 

Is he offering any type of a warranty, or is it as is?

 

As is

 

What I do not see is the heat exchanger (mounts on radiator), water transfer pump and the intercooler fill bottle.

 

do it

 

No one has ever regretted getting blown!

 

Little hesitant to pull the trigger. The guy seems like the shady "mechanic" type. I told him to give me a day to sit on it. Looking at how much more parts I will need and a final cost so I can get it all on one expense

 

Lot of money if it is a piece of crap. Any way you can get it look at by someone who might be knowledgeable about superchargers? Is the seller local to you?

 

that's over half of what they go for. I would do it if I had the chance.

 

Yes seller is local. And no I don't personally know anyone that is very knowledgeable on this.

 

Check for any local speed shops or engine rebuilders, or even an older master mechanic at the Toyota dealership.

 

I will make some calls first thing tommorow.

 

Glad to hear it. Hate to see any TW member get taken. And, who knows, the seller may not even know the condition as he bought it used and has not had it set up yet.

 

I would price a fit kit for the truck. Odds are you are going to need parts out of it.

I have a complete parts list and installation instructions at work. If you pm me your email address, I will send you a copy tomorrow.

Just as a FYI, you also need fuel injectors, which people tend to forget about. You will also need a dealer reflash after the install.
