Supercharger _blow out_

(posted in General/4Runner 'cause of the scope and trying to get the word out)


Hey all;

There's a dealer in North Carolina that's selling off his remanufactured 4th Gen Superchargers. These are the ones for the 3.4L v6 5vzfe

These have all been rebuilt by _TRD_, and come with the full 12 month warranty. I'm not sure of the pricing, but I'll bet it's worth the call! {hint}

He and I have been flipping email for a bit, and I'm comfortable that he's on the level and a good guy.

He's got three left...

Ready...
Set...
GO!

I still can't get a handle on spending the $$$ for the Premium fuel, injectors, pump, etc... eeek!

I came across Billy last week and have been talking to him about stuff. I offered to pass along this deal to a "large nationwide forum".

So whats the deal with it being a 4th gen supercharger ?? anyone ?
Complete system, full 12 month warranty.

These are the "Black ones" and will fit the 3.4L v6 5vzfe.

I know that auction originally had a BuyItNow for $999.99... that's when he and I started talking.

It looks like Billy raised his price a bit once he saw the response on eBay - you can't fault him for being a businessman. It's still a screaming deal!

Why does a 4th gen supercharger already need to be remanufactured? I got mine two months after I bought the 4Runner and with 35,000 miles now, it's still running good.

These are the S/C's made for the 3.4L V6 in models as early as 1996. I didn't ask Billy what the conditions were that put them through the remanufacturing process, but my guess would be mileage.
