Supercharger
#5
1. trd supercharger for scion tc's and 2nd gen xb's is discontinued. only place you could get one is if somebody has one in stock somewhere on a shelf/warehouse.
2. average gain is 40-50 whp.
3. there is no header made for the xb from TRD.
4. trd exhaust is mainly for sound, and not much performance gain.
5. buying a used supercharger is fairly pointless because it will void your powertrain warranty rather than become part of your powertrain warranty when installed by a toyota/scion dealership.
6. i realize your choices of performance mods are limited living in california, but i suggest looking into something else than a trd supercharger at this point.

specific reason? well it was a piece of sh*tt for starters. too many problems arose from owning one (goes out for everybody who has owned one, except i think drax i think was the only good one out there lol) but another thing is bc of the economy.
and is it worth it? definatly not. im pretty sure ur xb if its auto/manual will dyno at 125-130 for auto and 140-145 for 5spd. a SC on an automatic car is just about useless and ull be spending 2k plus for about 30 hp and ull be lucky to even dyno at 160ish. and for a manual maybe around 170/180 if ur lucky again.

yeah my first thought was to go turbo and now i think i just might... but all i plan on doing in exaust header and sc/turbo and tuning maybe eventuallty port and pollish and bore and maybe cams but anyone have dyno stats from their tubo/sc xb with other mods and now the question is what turbo/sc kit i was looking at turbonetics or greddy but both a bit pricy

i meant i was looking at snails from turbonetics and greddy but i looked into decendants seemed like a somewhat decent product but the price for their full kit was pricy ill look into the other kit as well

don't boost on a budget. u have to take into consideration u need to pay to tune, to install etc. and for watever problems arise from having a kit. ur not gonna get a brand new GOOD kit for under 4k

The PnP World Racing kit is a pretty good deal at $4250. It even comes with a pre-tuned FIC map. I started with the CXR kit ($1200) but with gauges, new manifold, custom downpipe for the new mani, Tial WG, FIC, PnP harness, etc., the total cost is getting close to $4000.

hmmmmmm i have spent alot of money to boost i spent 3000 on my kit 1000 on managment exhaust 300-400 gauges 500 clutch the list goes on now im working on the fuel set up our stock pump will suport about 350 hp on the stock set up i am going to make a diy for thouse that need some gas and trust me its alot of work time and money and yeah
#19
yeah t very true im going into one of my local shops tmrw that can do custom fab and such so ill see now that goes... they work directly off of curches tuning so theyre lagit but im only looking for around 230 whp maybe more maybe less idk
