I don't think TRD is doin that though... think about this... all their products must honor and be maintained by the cars existing warranty... we're not talking about a bulletproof B16 here or a 1st gen eclipse engine... Were talking about a damn camry motor... this motor was NOT designed for boost and TRD won't push it any farther than 7p.s.i. Otherwise this motor could easily blow especially if someone spins em too much and shoots a valve shim and this could quite easily happen because bone stock these things stick like a 1000hp supra on doughnuts... I'll bet my life that TRD doesn't release any pulley... might do an intercooler but you won't get a whole lot out of a intercooler because this isn't even a high compression motor... Sorry fellas I just don't think that Toyota wants to push their luck with a bunch of Tuners just itchin to beat the ____ out of their car...

Please get your facts straight. If you install the sc yourself your cars powertrane warranty REMAINS 5yr 60K miles. ALL YOU GET FROM HAVING THE DEALER INSTALL IT IS A LONGER WARRANTY ON THE SUPERCHARGER!!!
DIY = 1YR 12k MILE WARRANTY ON THE SC
DEALER INSTALL = REMAINDER OF YOUR POWERTRANE WARRANTY. EXAMPLE, IF YOU HAVE 4 YEARS AND 40k MILES LEFT ON YOUR WARRANTY THEN THAT WILL BE THE SC WARRANTY.
Unless your a tard and install the sc wrong and they can prove that then it DOES NOT EFFECT YOUR CARS WARRANTY AT ALL. This info comr straight from toyotas western regional parts rep.

well we all knew that... but those of us who are lazy would rather pay someone to do it 
Also to get it installed professionally and keep your warranty its much smarter to keep the warranty especially you desertheat since you're doing the pulley testing you chould take whatever warranty you can get... then again its a vortech system and they run 13psi all the time...

Yeah, here in Milwaukee all I've heard so far is over $4K w/o tax! 
...hmmm so if I can get it from TRDsparks.com for $3K then I'm paying over one thousand dollars for a better warranty?!?! 
OK, so do it yourself then right?...but what about the ECU Flash?

If its all the same I might ask for my money back.

Well I didnt have time to stop in at Scion today and the unit was scheduled to arrive tomorrow. So I imagine its to late to ask for my money back. So I guess I am just out the 300. I could have used that 3 for my 3 gauge pod and gauges.

Dealership I went to charged me just under $4k total (taxes and everything) for the supercharger and install. I don't think it's too bad. Then again, I'm not a penny-pincher looking to get everything at the cheapest price. I found that cheaper isn't always better.

so buying the s/c online wont void the warranty when the dealer installs it? (cheaper is better when its the same product and u are getting it from people that arent trying to rip you off with full msrp prices)
