I'd go turbo if you want more power, even though superchargers cost less and maintain easier go turbo you'll love it :)

Putting money aside for a second. (What a sentence! lol with the economy the way it is..) But with the supercharger(does the trd sc include upgraded fuel injectors?), headers, trd exhaust. What improvements HP-wise are we talking about? Maybe an extra 80-100? - Sorry for the question within a question :) This is just a very interesting subject for me.. I got a 07 tc manual, with 7k miles on it. NO upgrades on it whatsoever.

(they're so new*) bad typo

with headers? i'm not so sure. headers will give your car MAYBE 6 or 7 to the wheels. but, if you change out the stock crank pulley and replace it with an aftermarket crank, you'll free up a lot of the hp loss. a stock tC will get about 10 whp restored from it. i'm sure a supercharged one will get a lot more. Buyer beware though, aftermaket cranks are known to cause a lot of damage in the long run on lots of cars. haven't heard of much damage on tC's but that's prolly cause their so new

agreed, but a friend just told me if you change headers and some of the internals (as if that wasnt even MORE expensive) you can pull closer to 110whp. it just depends on your budget and what you consider "worthwhile" i guess.

well my buddy's dyno tests show he actually got 60 to the wheels. so he was pushin more than an SI would to the crank idk why trd says 40. but yea, i agree 4 grand is way overpriced even for 60

guess you can't trust anybody anymore. not even the dealership. But still if i was dropping 4 grand i sure as hell wouldn't bother with this 40hp piece of shit. but that's just me. thanks for info. :)

who said that? it's just WAAAY harder

you got lied to bro. the supercharger is covered under the normal warranty, but only if it's installed at a toyota dealership. if you're already past your warranty, then you get an additional 12 months or 12,000 miles on any problems due to the s/c

Bosch makes fuel system components. A BPV (by-pass valve) relives excess boost pressure, rookies call it a BOV (blow-off valve)
