Default Trd Supercharger for $300??

I saw this ad on craigslist and I wonder if its a good deal? Its not the kit, and how much would it be for the extra parts? Would it fit a 2010 tc? Sorry for all the questions lol

yea I was reading about that last week, that a turbo last longer but that it also breaks down on you eventually. I just though it would have been a good deal

thats a steal on a SC, but if its just the SC, you are gonna have a lot of trouble getting all the other parts to make this work. Let alone if they have spare parts in stock

im in dfw, it a used charger(which i wouldnt trust) and youre still about 1k-1.5k away from having everything, it wont fit a 2010 without serious work, no one is making fit kits for the new ones, and theres a reason why its alone....theres broke and they replaced it and this is the broken one
