Not sure if this belongs here, but does anyone know a great dealership to have the TRD supercharger put it, im from sac, like near florin road but dont mind a drive for quality work. Thanks for the responses!

 

I go to Maita...good things to say about them...can't hurt to check them out they are on Auburn, its a lil ways from you, but like I said, can't hurt to see...or maybe EG scion?

 

there's only two mechanics i trust my entire life and car to so far..

uhm.. Dave Gille at Stevens Creek (which is pretty far away for ya.. (in san jose))
and Ryan Abando at Cabe (i think he still works there)... but that's even further away ... long beach, ca..

hmm.. good things i've heard up at miata though.. hmm.. where's darren? ohhh hotbox!? chime in here!

 

If you don't want to go the dealer route you can go to midnight performance up in Rancho, they do good work too...Did my buddys teg up real good, putting down over 200 to the wheels on built motor...

 

Yeah I know Midnight is real well, my buddy gets his 350 done there. But as for installation, I would want to keep it strictly dealer only because of the warranty issues you know, too much money to be careless with installation. I take it to EG scion but they quoted me an effin grand for installation, and as long as i can get the BEST possible installation for a REASONABLE price, I will drive haha. Thanks you guys ;) definitely consider the above given!

 

Dave Gille, im assuming theyve worked with the TRD SC already right? Lol, ive been reading about how not too many dealerships have worked with SC's, is it completely safe to bring it to him?

 

go to maita dude. they've done quite a few s/c's already. that's where i took mine. a lil high on the install price tho.

 

How much did they charge you for installation? Don't tell me it's a grand.

 

$900 including oil and coolant change. which they had to add anyway when they drained it. lol

 

Gosh ><. If that's how much it costs for quality installation then I guess I have no choice. How long did they have your car for?

 

one whole day and they gave a camry rental. insist on it for the money they charge.

 

Wow, what prices . . . just to get 40 WHP?? Sometimes I think it's not worth it at all . . . just for 40 WHP. I know, it's warrantied and that's the only reason why people get it. Hope you'll get uhh intercooler and ALL the necessary pipings for the install. I've heard horror stories about it . . . no worries though. Just letting you in on some info. Good luck!

 

Why get a supercharger or turbo when you can get the same results for $7.99 plus shipping?

I wonder how many people fall for this stuff.

You know, i'm sure there are plenty of people who fall for that kinda crap. That's why the seller is still selling it!

Besides, it over rides the ECU and just makes the engine dump gallons of fuel. Then the ECU learns of this and resets it. Eh. . . only idiots would do such things?

 

Intercooler and Piping on the TRD supercharger? Isn't it made to run on a stock engine?

 

there's no intercooler for the TRD s/c..

(expect for the stage 2.. which they only made one of.. and is on corporate's car)

 

Definitely should make a custom one. It'll save a lot of headaches I believe. Lots of blown engines from the TRD S/C. No idea how it happened. Bet it has to do something about that too . . . but hey, i'm just talking about things I really don't know about. So go do your HW!!

 

LOL. If you dont really know what youre talking about, then why give me advice, no offense. From what I know, blown engines have been coming from high psi and no tune?

 

Hey you guys thanks for the info on where to get it done! I actually went to Maita and they charged me $1100 for install with a $110 per hour labor rate and a 10 hour job. Good install, no rattles, perfect FOR NOW. - knockz on wood - But yeah supercharger def made a difference, and with the mods in my sig, it'll be even more smackin! Sounds NOTHING like a ricer! Once again thank you for the responses!

ANOTHER supercharger added to SAC TOWN!

 

woohoo! now make it out to a local meet so we can all check it out.
