Then you have to worry about an intercooler/aftercooler or meth/water and a standalone...the worry list just keeps on getting longer.
My Tacoma is also TRD supercharged. It's great to drive everyday but it too heatsoaks mildly on hot socal days.
$0.02... On a daily driver the SC is great. I actually prefer it. For a car that will see some (or a lot) of track time I prefer N/A and N/A bone stock really with a proper oil cooler and trans fluid cooler if auto. If not N/A i'd consider a turbo with a fat I/C.
Sometimes the confidence of being able to get home w/o having to call a tow truck is worth more than 50-75hp.
