Pros and cons about TRD supercharger

And, if it was there and they did happen to notice? Void powertrain warranty?

During the effort to pull the pulley, it leaves tail-tale signs of that effort, right? If it was re-installed it could be obvious and give away your deception.

I really want to get as much HP, without risk, as I can but I want my lifetime powertrain warranty also...

 

Roll around this thread a little...should help answer yr questions..I even added pics for ya...

After a week of having my supercharger I can fully say it's totally worth it and the only cons are $$$ and tendency to speed lol

 

my wallet would give a shit lol

 

If you ain't got the funds to feed your habit..I suggest staying N/A'd...

 

OK, I finally got a chance to run the truck with the SC installed on a 2 hour round trip. Honestly, I was amazed! I went up/down several grades and was really surprised that going up the grades that the truck handled flawlessly. Going up a significant grade the truck was going 80mph without me mashing on the throttle at all. It was like normal driving, but the truck was cruising along like I was driving my '08 Tundra 5.7L, The more I drive with the SC, the more impressed I am. Maybe the ECU had to adjust or maybe there was a "break in" period, but every day the truck seems to perform better and better.
Anyway, this is the latest feedback from my SC experience. I am going to add a URD upgraded fuel pump/filter and AFE CAI and will update whence installed (ha ha, whence ).

kinda random.. but got my best tank so far. 340 miles and 18.6MPG

still lovin it of course..

hittin up the sand drags this weekend. bringin the go pro.. stay tuned

 

oh i have the funds, just waiting to return to the states so that i can finally get mine

 

my best tank so far was 400, i run premium and ethanol free whenever i can

 

Is that with a blower? and anyone with a SC has to run premium..

 

Sorry, late to the party. As another member who actually has a TRD supercharger, Justus is right. If anything my MPG has gone up.

 

no blower yet, my brother works for a toyota dealership doing lube and services so he gets about 30% discount and he can use it for family members so im waiting to hear back from him on what the price for the supercharger, fit kit and install will be.

 

Well then say bye to that 400 mile range.. lol

my 340 was my best tank so far with the SC.

 

what elevation are you at, i went from a few thousand down to almost sea level when i got that and i usually average 340 between city and highway

 

First of all not trying to jack a thread, but I saw there was a lot of people from different areas of the country. Second, I already posted this in my regional section of the forum, but am just trying to find more info.

Does anyone know of personally and or have any experience with a dealership around St. Louis, MO that has experience installing the TRD supercharger?

You can message me instead of crowding this thread too. Thanks!

 

What are the long term cost associated with a SC?
- Routine maintenance frequency of SC
- Life expectancy of SC
- I understand that changing spark plugs is more difficult with SC. How much more do dealers charge to change plugs with SC?

 

Another Pro is towing MPG.

Without the charger I was getting 9MPG towing my 6k boat. With it I average 12.5.
