Question for those with TRD blower expereince...

Back to the original topic...the trd supercharger is ok and many people fell letdown by the hype. BUT, add on the intake/headers/exhaust and pulley combo and now yiicr got a fast and still reliable truck that'll walk most cars on the street.

 

I agree 100%.

Don't get me wrong, a well sorted one-off built and tuned turbo Tacoma is badass.

But people dont realize it's not just welding pipes, changing injectors & installing an FPR, then slapping on a turbo... -or- simply installing a "kit." That's half the work.

The magic happens on the tuning side.

Now factor all that in for someone who dd's their truck & uses it as a truck. Practicality is out the window no matter how sweet it's running.

As Matt said, trd s/c alone leaves a lot to be desired to some people, hell even me. But open up the exhaust, intake, and a mild pulley and reassess...it's a lot power IMO for a midsize truck.

 

Lemon & SW- that's the kind of info I was looking for!

As mentioned, I've done the turbo thing on a truck and it was deep pocket city to make it work, and that was mostly for the qtr mile. For me it took a large part of the usability out of the truck. I'm not looking to go that route again. Just a good running, completely usable truck that has plenty of zip to pass and tow when needed.

I can always get in the 640hp camaro if I want to get crazy. 325hp at the crank in a Tacoma should be plenty for what I have in mind. Thanks!
