TRD S/C Gotten any better?
I just registered but have been on the forums reading up for a while. My question is whether or not these things are till known for problems. It's cheap, well $1900 (TRDsparks) isn't nothing but for a 195whp setup it's not bad. I've seen people drop $1k just on an intake, header, and exhaust and not get anymore than 20whp according to their dynos. I don't think I'll go turbo since I have an extended warranty. Just bored with the power. Thanks for the info

well ive heard the ones for 07 and 08 are alittle better, but there not 1900. the one your looking at for 1900 is for the 06 and earlier and will not fit on the 07.. the 07 and 08 kits are more like 2900...

Well if you are stock then trd will cover it if anything did go wrong. The problem is, you will eventually want more from it and will be tempted to add a pulley or header. Oh and btw, your and 07 tc so its not going to be 1900 from trdsparks.

the problem isn't with the S/C itself. Its with the assembly and installation on the dealer's end. Just find yourself a dealer who has done a few of them and request that the tech who's done the most of them does the work on yours.

eh, I guess if you just want a good bit of extra pull the s/c is the way to go but its way too limited for me. Im talking with Todd from TT as we speak to get started on my 10 sec daily driven project
