I want a supercharger

I've always kinda wanted one for my 03 tacoma but it didn't go past that... Now I really got the bug to get one.. Been keeping an eye out for a used one... Can't wait to finally find one

Try here for the used one- clicky
Not bad for 1275, if I had it, I'd probably be on it. Of course I'm still on the fence about the negative aspects of it, like the fuel upgrades it might need, premium fuel, need for tuning,etc.

When my buddy put his supercharger on his 99 Tacoma man what a difference did that make. According to him when you buy the TRD supercharger from Toyota they will warranty it. He hasn't had any problem with it since 1999 when he put it on.

I've been looking at used ones.. they seem to sell somewhat cheap. I dont know who would install it.. Don't really wanna take it to the toyota dealership. Guess I'll worry about that when I finally get it.

Whats the deal with the 7th injector kit?

The supercharger isn't a "plug-in and play" modification. From what I understand you need to get some fuel upgrades done as well otherwise you're running more lean than you'd care to.

Fuel mods are not necessary. There are several folks here who run S/C without any more mods and they're pretty happy with performance. Fuel mods and 7th injector kit add some more power on top of S/C though.

Yeah, but the only person I've seen with any kind of long term application of the supercharger (Gadget) has seen fit to do the fuel mods,recommends them and went as far as starting a company to sell the mods. No one has really documented the long term effects of running the S/C without the mods, and what running that lean for a long time will do to the life of the engine.
