TRD does superchargers and there are other OEMS as well. However, OEMs like turbos because of they are better for MPG sake compared to superchargers and there is massive pressure for good MPG's. I am teaching myself about the various FI methods and turbos seem the worst, although to be honest I have only ever driven a car with a Turbo. The appeal of a SC is its simplicity, reliability, and low end power/torque. What are the downsides other than the above mentioned heat soak.

Also I have searched the internet and I even bought a book on street supercharging. All of my research suggests SC are better. Why else would TRD use a SC? Surely Toyota can do no wrong.
