That supercharger has a built in intercooler, you can see the two water inlets in the top.

Traditionally TRD has ALWAYS shunned Turbo kits, I cannot remember the last time TRD released a turbo kit. If TRD releases any type of FI for this engine it will most likely be a supercharger with an intercooler of some sort. Whether they go with a centrifugal type SC with a separate intercooler like they released for the Scion tC or a lobe type SC with integrated inter-cooling in one unit like they did for my Toyota Tacoma, solely depends on what works best for the car and what they can fit in the engine bay.

I will be highly supprised if TRD even goes near a Turbocharger and if they do it will most likely be developed heavily by Subaru and just badged as TRD IMO.
