You NEED a stock air box....if not Toyota most likely will charge you for a new airbox, which is going to cost $$$.. so find a stock box or buy one from someone on SL

i have the 06 and that kit oesnt come with a airbox just comes with a new top lid for the air box.. i also had a injen intake on and when they were installing my S/C they told me i had to get another air box or they were gonna charge me for a new one so i went on here and found someone that will trade me there air box for my cold air and then took it to scion and they put it in...a new air box is like 300 something dollars i think.

yeah, a new airbox costs under roughly $600 dollars for a new one.

or you could just modify your intake to work with the supercharger, but you won't have a warranty.
