yes TRD has an intercooler that will be available with the S/C. from what they were telling us they say the car will push around 250 with both.

no... some superchargers do produce more heat and puts hot air into you car. thats one the main problems and thats why more companys are switchin frum SC's to TURBO's
sorry i lose the article on SC's but sum SCs tend to produce a lot of heat and results in needing a intercooler.
and yes i know that intercooler mak the air denser and produces more power and all that good stuff.
and yes i know turbo's runnin hotter and so an intercooler is usually slapped on.
i was just asking cuz having an intercooler would mean more $$ spent, but look way cool! hahaha

and the other guy was referring to normal superchargers which would be usually 4.5 psi. which would not need a intercooler. this set up usually give 40-50 hp. try putting on ANY TURBO and have it at a psi that woul dyeild similar gains but try not hooking up an intercooler!! lol youd say bye bye turbo.
superchargersare fairly close to the heat of a turbo WITH intercooler. so if you put a intercooler on to a supercharger the supercharger is alot less hot.
the more likely reason for any company deciding to go with a turbo is that they can claim much higher mpg ratings on the cars because you can drive a turboed car around as if it didnt have a turbo and get similar gas mileage. downside is the power curve of a turbo is not as good as a equally matched supercharger.
