i cant wait for the 07 supercharger to come out.. its gonna be awesome.


their was a reason that toyota redesigned the 2az with higher comression, and little oil shooters, for FI. now i highly doubt that TRD will be switching to turbo, because to be honest it will be nearly impossible for them to get CARB on it.

i have 3k right now that was saved for rims/tires/coilovers, but after hearing everything that has been going on, im gonna wait a little while to see where TRD goes, and if everything looks good, ill be boosted.

 

Time will tell what TRD is going to do in the future.

 

well i was waiting for the 07 to be out and then going for the supercharger for my 06. i figure ill get the new one or get the regular one put on and by then it wont be so hit and miss with installs cause of the time that has passed.

 

actually sounds like a good plan... think i'll do the same. anyword on the price drop or is that pure speculation too...

 

Oh yeah I just remember the Toyota Matrix XRS Has a TRD supercharger and TRD made a Cold air intake for it. They could of made on for the scion tC TRD supercharger. anyway back on topic

 

never saying that it cant be done, just think it will never happen cause of everything thats happened with it so far.

 

Ok I just finished reading whole topic... Very good info. thankyou everyone for that.

But who had their superchargers installed at the dealer and who didnt? Whats the pros and cons to having it installed there and how much did it run you? I went to my dealer yesterday and they didnt know anything about it nor the install price.

 

I got mine installed at the dealer. I made sure they had done the install before. Im sure there are cheaper places out there but they have installed this part before so they should know what they are doing. Plus the installing at the dealer gets a longer warranty than somewhere else.

 

i can confirm that other post that my buddy who works at a toyota dealer has the part number for the 07 manual s/c. there is no part number for the auto yet. it just says "available winter" so i guess that means i am gonna learn how to drive manual. i am not about to get an auto and live w/ its power until winter.

 

i am gonna post in here b/c i am affraid to post out in the rest of the board and everyone in here has been super helpful w/ the s.c stuff.........


did u see that in the 07 catalog there is an LSD from TRD for the 05-07? PTR39-21070. It says new, did anyone else see this?

 

LSD been out since 11-30-2006

 

ok cool. do u know if they have it for the auto or just manuals?

 

If i had a tc i would definitely rock the TRD kit over any other aftermarket turbo system

 

hey guys. im really thinking of possibly buying the trd s/c this summer and ive been reading through all your posts trying to learn more about it before i drop 3k on it. quick question. what is the exact warrenty on the supercharger? correct me if im wrong, but it comes under the 5yr/60,000mile warrenty that comes with the car right??

 

^^ are you going to mod your S/C

 

no. if i do end up getting the s/c, im going to keep my engine stock to keep the warranty. im a poor college kid =) so the warranty is important to me haha.

 

well, apparently it is out now for the 2007

its been out, its no new news.

what we all were asking is if there were any changes, and ken from trdsparks said no.. so why would anyone still buy one knowing the problems?

 

cause the problems aren't as rampant as most would make it seem.

 

but problems do exist.

i can go ahead and buy a comptech supercharger, mod my civic and never have a problem, what the hell is up with the TRD one?

i would love to get the TRD supercharger, but i wouldnt want all the problems associated with it. and sure, the problems are not as big as some make them, but a broken seal on something that constantly rotates will evenutally cause lots of problems.
