Supercharger pics and review

Installed yesterday and I picked the truck up last night.Again,a big thumbs up to East Coast Toyota service for being the only dealer in my area that would do the install in the Toyota labor book 6 hours.
Ok,back to the SC.
It's friggen awesome!What a difference!
The power,the sound...it's great.
If there's any way you guys can get one....DO IT!

 

The wife looked at it and said "you paid how much for just that?You,re nuts!".She's hasn't been in the truck yet with it installed, yet not that it would matter.
It's a blast! Night and day from stock and I haven't really pushed it.Just played a little from a 20 MPH,30MPH,40MPH rolls without really flooring it.
Very quick and sounds great.

 

envy is building!!looks great bet it drives like a dream.

 

Lucky you! Just wanna let you know i hate you, lol j/k nice addition

 

Congrats Joe! Now come down to AC and take me a for ride.

 

let us know if you take a noticable hit on gas milage. I have the same truck as you, silver 09 DC Sport.

 

maybe the mpg's will go up due to the engine not having to work as hard sometimes????

 

NOT!

More power = more fuel burned = more fun

These electronically controlled fuel injected engines are running as lean as practical to start with, cramming in more air so you can burn more fuel won't help in the MPG dept.

So how much of a HP increase is the TRD Super Chargers supposed to net?

That looks VERY SWEET btw

 

where in NJ are you from Joe? I want to check that thing out, thinking of getting one.

 

With the power,I'll play more for awhile using more gas.
I just got home from a ride to Home Depot and I must say the engine feels like it has more than the 68 HP or so the SC adds.It's got to be the added low end torque that makes it seem like more of a HP gain.

looks good. should try to post a sound clip of it.your a brave man going to east coast toyota.i live 10 minutes from there and would drive 7 hours to get a yota somewhere else. i have never ever ever heard a good thing about that dealer. hope they did it right. now i'm mad i didnt do the sc when i bought mine.i could have snuck it in the price and my wife would never have know.lol.
what was the final price? for the sc and labor.

 

did you ever figure out how heavy it was?

 

I had good luck with them.I'll give them another shot when the boost gauge comes out for the '09 in the spring.
$4530 complete.

 

I don't know but it looks like they took off the whole top of the engine as it's sitting in the SC box.

 

total, complete, green-eyed unadulterated jealousy.

seriously...very nice!

 

congrats joe that thing is bitchin... now get that thing on a dyno! very interested to see the difference of this SC compared to the 05-08

 

They probably just removed the plastic intake manifold.
