new weird s/c for tacomas

Hey Guys, take a look at this! I was browing ebay the other day and come across this s/c for a taco. YOu guys think that it could really hold up to the 450hp its claiming? If you ask me it looks sketchy.

It's more a matter if the Taco's engine can handle 450hp.

hahaha, at 230hp you get from the TRD unit, the fuel system is already the weak point. I'm not exactly sure what boost the TRD is running (don't feel like looking it up) but there is NO WAY you can get that much power by just an SC.

Your engine would turn into a torch without serious fuel mods at 20 psi of boost.

This part would make me nervous!
This is a prototype kit that we had custom built. There is no warranty written or implied but we are more than happy to work with you on the installation and succesful application of the kit.

That looks like a whipple with an A/W IC, pretty common actually for custom apps. The important thing that missing is the plenum.

So basically they put this together and you get to pay to be the guinea pig for their creation. I bet some moron buys it.
