Tundra supercharger: BOLT ON to 1UZ
Supercharger/Forced induction:
I picked up a TRD Tundra 2uzfe supercharger last week. I know it physically bolts on, but have not run through the full installation issues.

TRD SC kit
DBW throttle body and pedal position from the 04 tundra
Tundra Injectors
Reworked factory hood.
AEM F/ IC controller for the 9th and 10th injectors and timing control.
Problems I've run into:
Hood clearance, after trimming the inside braces, I needed roughly 2" extra toward the front of the Throttle body.
To get a smaller area on the Throttle body, I went with the Tundra TB. A GS430 would have worked, but a Tundra one was available.
Tundra piggyback ECU is presumed to not work with my application after speaking to the TRD guys.
I'm going to run the AEM F/IC for the additional injectors and timing control. If that keeps it safe, then I'll leave it as is. If it's too much, I'll look at under drive pulleys or a larger SC pulley to slow the SC down until I can build the engine.

Considering how many 1UZFE motors there are out there, I have never understood why there isnt a basic bolt-on SC available. A kit that bolts on with hand tools and works with the stock ECU would be popular. I know the Millen kit was discontinued, but that was like $4500 plus installation.

The supercharger nose/pulley also interferes with the "water neck" (coolant)
near the top engine serpentine belt pulley.
Fuel management is a concern, as he mentioned. The relatively high (10.5/1)
compression of the 1UZ means they ping a bit with the blower installed.
I nearly did this a few years ago with the help of the TRD USA staff.
The TRD guys had used this blower on the 4.0 in a marine application!
The 4.7 liter V8 superchargers are no longer available as new.

i guess if you want power, the GS300 NA-T is the cheapest route up to a certain point.

its your lucky day, there is actually a complete, brand new, TRD supercharger kit currently listed in the marketplace. It's kinda pricey though!
