Probably a scam

 

Why a scam? It's not even a good deal.

 

Magnuson still makes them for like $4950 so thats definitely a sham

 

I thought the fit kits are different between 05-11 and 12-15 or no?? Seller says fit kit is for 05-15...

D finitely not a good deal tho lol

 

2500 more than a brand new one. Pass.

 

It doesn't seem too bad if you want a TRD supercharger.

 

Too expensive IMO. Not a good deal

 

ha is banking someone wants the OG TRD version instead of the current Magnuson charger

 

he's nuts, there are toyota dealers up and down the east coast that can still get their hands on the OE TRD supercharger for around 4700

 

Uhhh really? They had some stashed away on a shelf? I seem to remember about a year ago when trd discontinued the 4.0 sc and EVERYONE was calling dealers across the country trying to get one and a fit kit. The fit kit was long gone from dealers before the actual sc unit itself became yesterday's news. Then relisted on eBay for a hefty price like it was .22 ammo 5yrs ago. I agree the guy his off his rocker asking that price. But I'm sure someone will pay close to his asking price. He missed his chance to flip it for a profit when Magnuson aquired the rights to produce the SC under their name and not trd.

 

actually 1 dealer in maine has 2 or 3 in stock, and 1 dealer in tn has 2 left. that was end of may when i heavily debated doing the sc. my truck now has over 100k on it, and i'm wondering if it would do more harm than good.

 

Interesting.....

 

What's the difference between having an engine with 100k and then installing a SC instead of having an engine with a SC from day one?

 

not sure. no one can give me a clear cut answer. my local toyota dealer strongly advised against it.

 

I'm sure there's a lot of variables.
Look at the million mile Tundra. It was still within "specs" when they tested it.

 

I've heard of plenty of people who have installed them with around that mileage and even more who have had them since day one with more miles than that. I'd say you're perfectly safe. I've got 135k and I'd slap one on mine with no worries if my wife and bank account would allow it.

 

isn't wife and bank account the same thing?

 

Have a compression and leakdown test done. If they're good, go for it.
