    2 more lbs of boost is what i have read. 20 or 30 horse more. pulley is $150. i can dyno i have a buddy with one. im on 37's with 4.88 gears so it will be a bit different then a stock ride's power.

    That sounds like it should be a fun setup! I'm looking to get the gearing done with an Auburn thrown in as well relatively soon myself. Keep us posted!

    145k total miles, last 75k miles supercharged. Just changed the coupler and supercharger oil. Big pita removing the SC to remove the nose cone to replace the coupler. Oil drain and fill are at the back of the SC, simple once you remove the SC.
    Others say you can remove the nose cone by removing the coolant crossover and change oil while on the engine. Looked like just as much work to me so i removed the SC to service.

    That price covers everything except antifreeze for the cooler. You can go to Sparks web site and d/l the install instructions.

    Longer list than the wife needs to know about....
    That is the cheapest I've seen one go for.
    Of the 4 guys I know with them all were around $8.5K when it was all said and done.
    None of them have not had any problems as a result of the supercharger the only consistent complaint is the excessive tire wear... but that is self induced.


    I'm Jealous....

    Way more than I paid. Between buying the TRD supercharger, TRD exhaust and installation for all it was about $8000.00

    So I just got an email back from Magnuson about supercharger maintenance..

    "No need for oil change on supercharger sir! It’s self contained and not ever supposed to be touched unless there was an issue with the supercharger "

    And Toyota says the WS transmission fluid is lifetime with a 100k mile check only, no drain/fill or flush... i still drain/fill every 30k miles as well as drain/fill my supercharger oil...along with front rear diff transfer case etc ... do whatever amount of maintenance makes you comfortable
