Automatic TC's can now have Supercharger!?

[sudafed]

I came across this on trd sparks web site. Thought it was a pretty interesting bit of information for all you A/T TC's out there.

Auto's needed a special bracket and '07-up need a different reflash (different MAF/ECM/wiring)

The 07+ require a whole new ECM and a different Supercharger assembly due to the redesigned exhaust manifold*. Get an after-market header and this eliminates the problem.

* - This was told to me by a corporate tech... they are not always the most well informed.

uhmm... can i chime in?

yeah the '07s have a different setup completely and yes, the new exhaust manifold and header plays apart in the reason why.

also, from what i was told by one of TRD guys i know that has the prototype s/c for the '07 in his car.... the new ECU in the '07s can utilize Toyota's current scantool equipment so dealerships don't have to buy any extra crap to perform the reflash.

I NEEDS that scan tool!!!

can u use a Scan tool for 05-06 ? in case the ECM MAP module can't be reused again.

yeah I've heard about the SC for the tc. its on trds website. im debating on whether to get the SC for my AT tc or save up a buttload of money and get a turbo package. anyone have any suggestions? im not very technical yet and am basically fishing in the dark. the turbo kit claims to bump stock 160hp to 300hp. and the trd supercharger up to 200hp.

oh yea .. i forgot about that
autos need some mounting bracket thingy
which is like an extra $50 or something like that
