If you don't mind me asking, did you buy your s/c new from toyota or 3rd party used?
And your car must be stupid fast, any vids of that beast?

the trd supercharger was discontinued in the early 2000s so I had to buy an used one. However the one I had was low mileage and was in a great condition.
you can still pick up ones in good condition on solaraguy or toyotanation for about $2500
even a beat up supercharger can be rebuilt relatively cheap

I was thinking about picking one of these up with my next income tax check.
Is this a bolt-on application, or are there further modifications that need to be done?
Also, is the s/c "safe" for an automatic transmission?
My girl is getting her grandmother's 1998 Es300 with only 40K on the dash. I may try trading her my CTS for it so I can supercharge it!

auto is fine as long as you don't run too much boost. just make sure u run it on a none vvti 1mz-fe motor.
the supercharger it a bolt on, but you will need some minor stuff like egr pipe and ebc module which usually comes as a complete kit. there's usually one or two kits for sale on solaraguy.org
you will need to reroute some hoses but that's easy.

I see...
It seems like that s/c would seem so violent on this transmission..
It's ashaming that you can't install an s/c on a vvti motor... I would love to buy a 2001 coach/platinum edition and supercharge it :B
Why can't you supercharge a vvti motor anyway?
