jumped the gun at dealership
well i purchase my 08 with the trd cold air intake, drove off the lot with the 3 miles on it. got home did some researchand found that i basically made a un needed purchase if i was going s/c...well time has gone by and now its time to go s/c. I saw that someone here has the cold air intake and a supercharger but...how is that possible. I have contacted through emails several companys selling the trd s/c and they are telling me that it is not compatible with any cold air intake. the thing that i do not understand is they are telling me that it uses the stock airbox. Does the s/c come with one. or do i need to take them my stock airbox. If it uses the stock air box why cant the cai be used.
thanks

You can use a CAI with a S/C. Do a search and their are people who have done it. If you do, it is HIGHLY recommended you also purchase a piggy back ECU program like the AEM Fuel/Ignition Controler or the Greddy Emanage. It has been noted, running a CAI on the S/C leans out the fuel curve which can harm your motor. Also, if warranty is important to you, then don't use the CAI with the S/C as it would be considered modifying the vehicle.

I think the '07-'08 kits are coming with full airboxes (at least according to the manifest that comes with the instructions http://www.trdsparks.com/install/PTR41-21070inst.pdf)...I have an '06 and I needed the top part of my old airbox...

But to the OP, you can use your CAI, you just have to cut it and then make it fit. Or you can buy Kik's intake and then be done.

The intake will fit with some hacking and cutting. But no it wont mount right up.
And I really dont reccomend it. With the supercharger you dont want any reason for them to be able to deny warranty work. I am on my third supercharger. It is not reliable.
