MAXIMUM you would pay for a TRD Supercharger installed?
Now that it appears that Toyota is seriously looking at a TRD supercharger kit for the FR-S, what would you be willing to pay for a 75-100 hp and 30% torque increase?

I wouldn't pay more than 3k. However, if TRD charges 10k for a Big Brake Kit, i can only assume they will charge around $1.6million for a supercharger. Possibly less if you also write over one of your islands in Dubai.

I wouldn't pay any more than $4000 and even that would be a bit high for me... However, whatever the price may be I'll probably end up doing it, if not for the factory warranty alone.

I'd be happy paying between $3k and $4k simply to keep the warranty on my car.

I dont see how TRD would come in this low... TRD will get it from somebody like, Vortex, or something and relable it.
I dont think we'll see many under 3k for the kits, before install. 3500-3800 for a kit before TRD + Deal insane install... I just dont think it'll be under 4500 |

I'd have to know what type of supercharger it would be before I would consider spending any money on it.

Its going to cost way more than its worth IMO. Unless you are really paranoid about keeping your warranty, if they will even still honor it.

I voted for less than $2000, but, I have no doubt in my mind that this will be $3000 or more . I just don't have that much cash just lying around (don't really want to put it on credit either). If some money falls into my lap, then it might be a reality for me. In the mean time . I always want what I can't have.
