Great service, just shocked the oil changes arent really free, but they do so much else, its worth it.
I had my tacoma in there 3 times for balance issues for my tires as it still shimmy. They kept redoing it til it was right at no charge.
Whats to loose with the sc if the engine is warrantied for-evar?

Turbos are controlled by the load on the engine, so they only boost when you get your foot into it.

TRD supercharger for xb is belt driven (centrifugal) and pretty much boosts all the time, but the amount of boost depends on how you feather the throttle
Greddy s/c for the xB is a roots style and is not belt driven...
i just hope the TRD one for the xB is better than the one for the tC
For most applications, today the Eaton "roots" have a vacuum operated by pass valve for boost control.
Centrifugal SC's - The higher you spin them = more boost.
Other than electric, all SC's are belt driven.
It would take several pages to explain the benefits & shortcomings of the 2 technologies.
