Umm...do it.

Make that X4. Wish I had the money for it right now.

I bought mine when I bought the truck.. Never regretted it but you do need to realize it doesn't turn it into a 10 second truck. The new ford Eco-Boost will run with you. Also the traction control will still limit the power you put out.

I am dying to get some cash together so I can install a limited slip or locker to allow both tires to spin with all the traction control off.

 

Yes! Do it right now. I've started a savings account for my own s/c, something tells me ill be pulling the trigger before my account is ready. Damn this forum, all it does is convince me that spending all of my money is awesome. Bottom line is that you only live once so do it.

 

Hey,
First post here? Been reading for six months. Where can you buy the SC kit for the 2012 six? Also do you need a cold air set up or just the filter change for the 2012? How about the exhaust?
Thanks,
Larry

 

Here's one place http://www.trdparts4u.com/scripts/p...=2&catalogname=TRD Performance&idCategory=-90

You can score them a bit cheaper if you search around or go thru eBay.

No cold air setup is needed...in fact toyota says NOT to use their intake with the S/C. You definitely can as most people do, but Toyota may throw a fit if you come in for service with it with the S/C. As for exhaust I was looking for this answer too.

 

Thanks for the info. Good luck with yours. The exhast is a hard choice.

Getting one installed on my '12 tomorrow!

 

I'd like to get one for my '13, at some point, but it will likely be a few years. It's certainly not a "need", as far as I'm concerned. And, after a brief "pedal to the metal" moment yesterday, I can say the stock 4.0L has plenty of get-up-and-go available from it. I can't help but wonder how much life will be taken from the truck's engine by having the S/C attached...

 

mmmm S/C, so hard to resist. Gofer it!

the supercharger itself wont do any damage to the engine unless you take to drag racing and push the limits of the vehicle it will eventually fail.

that being said your first major concern should be the transmission auto or manual it will be the first to fail assuming the rest is properly installed and maintained.

start adding on exhaust, 7th injectors, engine management, smaller and light pullies, ect. then you may want to become a little more concerned

 

Well I'm going that route hopefully my transmission doesn't rip apart ! (minus 7 injector) lol

OP, you won't regret the extra power outta that supercharger!

 

The auto trans is pretty dang tough in the tacomas I wouldn't be worried about it failing. And even if it did the Trd supercharger doesn't void the warrenty if you go through Toyota,which may cost a lot more.
