Default TRD S/C Prereqs

Are there any prereqs for the TRD S/C to be installed by the dealer?

Besides the clutch/flywheel, what else does everyone recommend before installing a S/C, or any other type of FI mod?

Please let me know.

Thank you.

(PS I know I am asking a lot of questions, but I like to be cautious and well informed.)

You dont need to do anythign special. The supercharger is made to run on a stock tC. Buy and enjoy, but dont mess with it because you will need your warranty.

Not bad, if you have warranty. I have had 3 different superchargers in 20,000 miles.

Dealer will try to "save" money when it can, sucks but true

Thats why I would like to go with all TRD parts and have them install them, but thats also a rip off... so you cant win really....
