Default TC supercharger for over a year or more without problems?

Has anyone have the TRD supercharger for the TC for over a year now at least without problems? From what I've been reading its like most of everyone's s/c goes like crap in just a few days to months. Also if you've had the s/c for over 2 or 3 years post up and tell us how it is running.

It would be interesting to see if all the negative talk about the SC is just because people with problems are very vocal about it. Any support? Also, why aren't I seeing any aftermarket superchargers? To me, in general, they seem to be a safer option than a turbo... At least simpler

had mine a year before I sold it for the new project, 0 issues other than a broken sc bracket which shiz happens. More people crack turbomanifolds on a daily basis than brackets have cracked on this sc setup *LOL*

I didn't have any problems with S/C yet, the only problem I had was when my car shut off while I was driving on the highway above 50 mph but wasn't cause of the S/C. I think I might be switching to another forced induction system. I have project also. lol

I've had mine since it was first available in October 2005. I've had no problems except for the broken bracket.

we've also had ours since they 1st became available. nothing wrong; still puts a smile on the face.... though as soon as the warranty is no longer an issue... it's "toy time"...
hey, just cuz it's the wife's ride, doesn't mean i can't enjoy it once in awhile when i have "custody" of the TC...

Had mine for 6 months now, with only a Broken Bracket. I actually have a extra bracket sitting around now. No problems here though ("Knock on Wood***")

7 months around 14k miles no issues at all. 65 mile round trip to work every day and moving to another state with a few trips back and forth really put the miles on. but not even the always popular broken bracket.

Because TRD factory warranties their S/C. No company can compete with that.
