Hahaha bring it BRO.

I will FI my car someday, I was just hoping TRD would have one that would keep the car under warranty. Damn you, spoiling my hopes and dreams and what not.

Yeah I hear ya about the warranty thing I work a dealer and was trying to see if I could snake the vortech kit by my service manager.... Yeah not gonna happen lol. Oh well I think n/a will make me a better driver.

Again, the comparisons to the tC S/C. I had one, and it was an increase to about 200 WHEEL hp, not at the crank. Crank estimates had it closer to 250 hp. So it was more like a 90 hp increase. And unless you drove one, your opinion is invalid. It was a fun setup to drive, I enjoyed it.

I've never had forced induction, I've always had NA V8's in my GS400 and SC430. Although they were fat pigs, you could really feel the torque. I love that I will have a brand new car with warranty, but then I hate I can't have more a lot more power, along with that warranty.

How can the Ken Stout FR-S use a SC in the Pirelli races? Rules say it must be made available to the general public, (at least somewhere in the world).

Yes that may very well be all I am saying is that from a reliable source that I cannot divulge there will not be a DIO (dealer installed option) through Toyota such as you would find on say an fj or a Tacoma, tundra etc. Not sure what the regulations are regarding making that particular sc available just stating that this wont be something you can walk into any dealer and have installed.

Everyone on this site has a*"reliable source" lol. How about we just wait and see if the trd SC is going to be a dealer installed option or not. Only time will tell.

I work at a scion dealership and just got the cost memo for the Pirelli TRD Supercharger kit.

The kit is 26000 dollars each, and the kicker, the minimum is two kits.

Thanks for the pic.

This kit is probably going to be really, REALLY expensive.

EDIT - Had to...

Did you add an extra 0 on accident or just joking?

I guess they need to sell it, but don't really want anyone to buy it. For that price it better make 800TQ/800WHP and come with all supporting mods to chassis, engine and drivetrain!
