Default tC supercharger version2 ??

Is there going to be a different version of the supercharger comming out next year? Since almost all companies fix up small things with their products do you think they are going to be come out with a fixed up version?

Umm...no

Unlike alot of the other companies, TRD has the overhead and the whole warrenty thing to worry about to not do craploads of testing. It shouldnt change at all. None of their other superchargers have...

i was just thinking that they would change the bpv or something ......just a few minor things that need adjustment. i dunno - i figured it was worth the question.

actually a few s/c have changed. TRD does do extensive testing, but do change minor parts due to excessive failures in the field.

Most likely the tC's will not change..but maybe they will chage the bpv, or is that the way they purposely designed it?.....a question for thought.

TRD did change 1 S/C. It was the one for the Tacoma. They made it smaller and more efficient. But as far as the S/C for the tC I don't see anything changing. Knowing TRD they will probably be offering some add on's in the future.

TRD intercooler, boost gauge, a smaller pulley perhaps.

Right now anything is possible. But I doubt it's going to be a smaller pulley. I'm thinking more like boost gauge, possibly an intercooler, or something along those lines. I remember seeing a pics of a tC(I think from SEMA) the a top mount TRD intercooler with a S/C but there isn't any solid info out that says it's going to be released. Thats about all I know.

That intercooler is sweet, but you can see its a tad inefficient. they have the water flowing in/out through the same side of the IC. Change that and make an Icebox setup and you could see huge gains with that IC. IMO
