Short answer, no it wont.

But yes you will be able to cut it and modify it to make it work.

they used to say that the supercharger wasn't compatible with the cold air intake, and i was ____ed off at my dealership for not saying that. but they said if i get a supercharger, and bring it to them, they can make it work. but now when i look at the supercharger ads, they don't mention it anymore. also, at fitzgerald toyota in gaithersburg, they have a trd s/c display connected to an injen cai, maybe it would work. sorry if this isn't much help, and gets your hopes up before they are trouched by somebody who knows better than me.

I remember on Dealership in NJ told me the TRD cold air intake will fit the TRD supercharger, So I brought it before I brought the supercharger Then when I go the supercharger another Dealership told me it will not fit the supercharger. I was so mad. I'm over it now. I'm trying to sell my CAI

since this type of thread is already started, does anybody know if you need any stock intake parts for installing any turbo kits like the zpi stage 0-1, or the turbonetics? i didn't keep any of my stock intake parts, it didn't occur to me that i'd need them again.

I've been to that dealership and have seen the intake you are talking about. They are the guys that installed my supercharger. That is just some random intake that they plopped on the end of the s/c for show. It will not work

I know someone who had the same dealer who installed my S/C, put an K&N intake on his. The sensor is in the perfect spot and the pipe is long enough before bending to the intake manifold to make a nice cut to give a good connection the S/C hose. I'm not to sure about the injen fitment.

Here's a link to the club site. Check out the gallery, 2006 photo album, then go into adam's pictures to see what I' talking about.

I dont see why you would need one on a turbo setup. They come with their own piping, and filter. For a supercharger yes you will need the stock. But for a turbo, you SHOULDNT.

How much gain did you get when you installed you S/C with CAI? I heard people really don't get that much gain when they installed S/C with CAI.
