Turbo ain't cheaper if your looking at 300 ponies and doing it right. They also don't last as long as a S/C setup. My only prob has been a recent cracked mounting bracket that is a known defect in the 1st gen TRDs. Turbos breakdown over time, bearings and cracked manifolds. The also produce alot of heat under the hood which cause other problems. You can spend the extra money and wrap/shield everything.

Lot of pros and cons. It simply comes down to whether you want alot of power output or longevity/drivability.

I have the TRD and yes, I am biased.
