trd supercharger install

need to rant . took my truck to the dealer on friday 2 o'clock to have the recall done supercharger installed and 4 wheel drive serviced was giving a price for everything of 1100$. was told it would be done late saturday or early monday morning just got a call monday morning didnt start it yet and wants to change the price to 1858.00 to install just the supercharger because there are 2 different types of superchargers one with intercoler the other not (witch i know is bullshit) . told them to leave the truck id come get it .does anyone know of a place to get it installed near staten island new york this is bullshit the dealer is staten island toyota

 

This is why some dealers suck. If they quoted you a price and it was wrong, they should honor the priced. They made a mistake you didn't. I do subcontracting on the side from my regular job. If I qoute a price on a job, that's the price weather i screwed up the estimate or material. Why don't the dealers do this???

 

I really hate dealers

 

call all of the Toyota dealers within 100 miles. Maybe they will give you a rental while the work is being done.
what service are you having done on the 4x4? If its a transfer case drain and fill, just do it yourself. Its really really easy! That will prob save you $50-$100.

 

was getting the front and rear diff fluid changed , transfer case , driveshaft bolts tighten and greased driveshaft only 199.00 so it was worth them doing it . they didnt do that either

 

Not a bad price but you could probably save yourself $80 - $100 doing it yourself. It'll take you a couple hours tops.

 

really didnt have the time or i would have really dont have the time after the truck sitting for 4 days was off this weekend now i have to go back to work . and i cant find a dealer to do the install this sucks

 

IMO I would take a weekend and do the supercharger install yourself. I dont think it would be too hard. Look how much money that would save you and then you would have the satisfaction of having done it yourself. Then just take it somewhere and have it tuned or order a flash tune or whatever you do for these trucks. Just make sure your get it tuned before you go WOT

 

could i drive it to the dealership before getting the computer reflashed

 

pics of what ? the trd box with the supercharger in it

 

its an easy install...save the $$$ and just do the install yourself...i've installed 2 trd s/c already...took us about 5 hours...can't wait to install a s/c on my truck...

you could use that same money to invest in a APR X-1 that way you don't have to flash your ECU for the new injector sizes and s/c...if you do flash your stock ecu and decide later down the road to sell the truck you will not be able to part out the s/c unless you buy a brand new ecu...once the stock ecu is flashed by toyota for the s/c there is no reflashing back to stock calibration...its only $1200 and well worth the price IMHO...

I got the X-1 and am about to purchase a trd s/c...being n/a the x-1 is definitely worth it just in throttle response improvement alone...

 

Here's a really good write up if you want to do it yourself.

You can but it might run like crap due to the larger injectors. Also make sure you stay out of boost. It could go lean and go pop!
Does the stock MAF work with SC or will it peg? I added 6psi to my cobra and it pegged the MAF.

 

hold up. You only have one box?

Maybe what they were trying to tell you is you didnt buy the fit kit. Thats in a separate box and has the intercooler inside it.

Thats something like $400. Either way they are trying to rip you off, but perhaps that is what they were trying to tell you.

 

no i have both boxes the supercharger and the fit kit . talked to my cousin who owns a garage gonna install it ourself with the help of a few friends on sunday . trying to order the apr x1 but it seems to be out of stock everywhere hope i can find one by the weekend

 

the dealer was also trying to tell me that the intercooler was a replacement for the radiator that the trd kit is just a supercharger and no intercooler i had something else they said thats when i took my truck and left.

 

Call up URD and talk to Gadget. He can get you the X1. Good luck.

dealer is clueless. the fit kit comes with a new intercooler and it's mounted in front of the stock radiator.

 

Try these guys if you haven't already found an APR X-1. http://www.trdparts4u.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=-8175
