nice. I wish I could get one, but there is just no fucking way I could.

Did he say why they won't be producing it?

It looks like they stopped producing them because of the bad economy. Also they stopped producing the TC ones also. I wonder if they will stop producing the Tundra and Tacoma ones.

I'll try to find out, but I'm assuming that it's not a reliability issue if they're continuing to offer warranty coverage...didn't realize the tC's was halted too, I guess times are tougher than they thought!

Yea a few weeks ago Toyota shut down all but one line, just for the day I believe, to help save money. They might be going under like GM and Ford.

I doubt they are in as much trouble as GM and Ford. they do have more operations going other than just passanger vehicles

Bad News ladies and gents,

Had the charger installed for 5 weeks and the thing blew out. Warranty is covering it but here's what i know so far and its not good.

The dealership is returning my car to stock, here are my options.

1. Wait 6 weeks for the release of the new FUNCTIONING superchargers

or

2. Receive a full refund of my cash outlay, I paid 4 g's installed by Longo Toyota.

So here's the skinny, do not buy one of the existing chargers, and if you did DO NOT SCREW with it our the warranty will be voided and you will be out money!

I haven't made a decision yet, I'm awaiting more information on the new release, I must say I am greatly dissappointed in this, I really rely on TRD to set the bar on quality and this doesn't say much!. I'll keep you posed on what I find out.

It's not GM and Ford that are in deep doodoo people, it's GM and Chrysler! Ford is still slugging it out and in much better shape than either of the other two.

seems a little exspensive

Any update?

Hijo_del_Sol · 05-13-2009, 10:03 PM

WOW - THIS NEWS SUCKS...as I just picked up my newly supercharged '08 xB TODAY! - Any idea on the issue with your blown-up charger? Should I expect this? I was just going to mention how much better I like the car now that it's got a bit of balls! Before I sing any more praises, I guess I'll wait for your update?!?

Hijo_del_Sol · 05-20-2009, 09:23 PM

Okay, one week down, four to go until my new Supercharger blows-out???
Natzryd, are there any details you left out that might get to the bottom of your experience? Did you get some pulleys and try to squeeze 40 lbs. of boost out of the thing? Were you at the track? Were you outrunning a band of mad cops down the highway at 200mph? There's gotta be more to it than just that! So far the only problem I've run into is that my Avg. MPG display keeps tellin' me I'm gettin' 35 MPG now, but I know that's not right!!!!
ME LIKES MY SUPERCHARGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way, who told you about a new version release? I was told that they'
re done puttin' out the SC cuz noone's buying them!!!

quackPOT · 05-20-2009, 09:48 PM

I wish I had one on mine. If they had offered it when I purchased my car last year, I would have bought it.

superd6199 · 05-21-2009, 02:01 AM

i would check with pro charger, they put out some pretty sick products.

dachop · 05-28-2009, 06:40 AM

The only thing I had go wrong with my supercharger is I blew out my catalytic converter and mid pipe but the dealer cover it and it been kool since then. Ever since that I switch out with the weapon r header and s pipe it sound better with that and the HKS exhaust it still going strong I want to tune it and put smaller pullys on it

Hijo_del_Sol · 05-28-2009, 09:49 PM

Hey dachop - how long have you had supercharger? AND - can you tell me more about your exhaust, that's next on my list!

dachop · 05-29-2009, 02:22 AM

going on 5 months I think I know I got it when first came out yea I got the HKS power wagon 3 inch tip cat back it has a deep mellow tone I like it a lot!!!!!!

Natzryd · 07-03-2009, 02:38 AM

The bearings went out, TRD was very hush, hush
about it. apparently a lot are failing.
I have to say I miss it dearly, so saaaad.

I only drove it normal for 8 weeks and the bearings went bad.

I seems unlikely but true, TRD spend thousands fixing my car, new CPU and two weeks in the shop.

The dealership hooked me up with a TRD cai though, and I got all my money back.

I'll just have to wait a while and find another avenue. Until then I a kick ass sound system, and sound deadening material. I'm just chillin on the box now and waiting to see was comes out next. I do miss that charger though....

thwilla · 07-03-2009, 04:06 AM

cxracing has a turbo charger out now i think its better if u dont mind losing ur warranty
