Default S/C info

No, the info on our site is all we have. All the pricing and HP Gain guesses are pretty much just guesses. I do know that they had to tone it down a bit so I'm guessing 40 HP is probably in the ball park.

Default April fools day

I'm not real optomistic as a rule, but knowing where this info came from, I'd be ready to take it to the bank this time.

Jesus that's awesome. Even comes with a bypass valve!!! A modding I will go.

If anyone needs BOV's with recirc kits, boost/egt gauges, filters, etc. let me know. I sell only bolt on performance parts (Including custom Spearco and HKS intercooler cores).

i agree, it seems everyoen has having a boner over this supercharger when it isnt adding that much power for the 3500, oh but wait it doesnt void the warrenty so i guess everyone thinks its worth it

the cheapest supercharger on the trd line is 3500 for the 1.8L found in the celica and corolla and i think the matrix it is 3500.00 from the dealer, plus u have to buy the install kit wich is 1,200.00 wich includes belts and pulleys, plus dealer install wich you can count on another grand for that.

the price for the 3.0L supercharger is 3300.00 plus install kit plus install.
now why would they price a brand new supercharger everyone has been waiting for for 3100.00.
If you dont believe my prices go to http://www.trdusa.com look up parts in detail find the part # for the 1.8L supercharger, then go to catalogs then price sheet and look for yourself.
I know this b/c i was thinking about supercharging my 03 corolla i used to have, however after all that it added 40 hp and 38 ft.lb torque.

Wait till you get a little older. Then you'll realize the value of a warranty.

Ok so we have a press release from TRD essentially that these two websites just pasted. Do we know anything confirmed about:

- actual or claimed numbers? Still 200hp or were rumors of hitting 220 substantiated?
- impact on mpg?
- Work on auto trannies? (yeah, I know, fat chance, but I can hope)

id say hp will be 40 to 45 hp gain, lose 5-7 MPG and i bet it will work on auto trannies

as for the warranty yes it is a good thing but that does not mean you should pay over 4k closer to 5k for 40 hp. thats 100.00 per 1 hp.
i could find a better way to spend my money

Default More Info?

I posted what I was given and everything else is speculation. I could give you my guesses based on info I have, but there's no point. I'll post more as soon as I have something 'real' to share.
