TRD Supercharger discontinued

[Jay666]

I'm not sure how much common knowlege this is already. I did not see any other posts or discussion about it, but TRD announced last week that along with the recudtion of general auto production due to the stagnant economy, they have discontinued certain products, which included the TRD Supercharger.

I am not sure what (if any) other TRD products have been effected by this, but I do know for sure that the SC was ceased on production effective last week. Parts, service and warranty will still be available for pre-existing TRD SC's.

All that remains of the TRD SC is what is currently laying around on the floor of any dealers or distribution warehouses.

I found this out when my friend who works in the parts dept of a Toyota dealer got the memo last week, prior to anything being publicly announced. Maybe this is all something everyone already knows and I am making an idiot of myself by making a post on it.

I wanted to snag a SC up before they were gone and I had no idea how many remained.

My friend at the dealer told me that there were very few that he could see actually on the floor at any dealers around the country, but that distributers could have many more. When I ordered my SC yesterday from TRD Sparks, they told me they only had 3 left (I bought one, so that makes 2 remaining) and that once they sold the last few they had, Sparks were not getting any more in.

Sparks also told me that he estimated only around 30 total TRD SC's remaining available around the US.

Crazy man. I did not see that coming. Anyone who was interested in getting one should try to rustle up the funds and snag one up like I did before it's too late on the TRD SC's.

I wonder if we'll see a spike in after market SC's as a result? Or prices change, or other parts discontinued...

This economy sux!

I figured. Like I said, I could not find any post on this, so I went ahead and posted too. (I don't have much time to search around because I post from work).

My bad.

The funny thing is, I actually found out about this last Wed, 2/11/09 from my buddy at the dealer, but I hesitated on saying anything. I should have posted something last week.

Sorry guys.

Forgive my lameness. I am not familiar with the roll-call. And I can't find on the site.

What's roll-call all about and where do I find it?

Yes, you can. Here's some sets here:
All &gt Performance &gt Pulleys > Non Stop Tuning Pulleys - WeSellCarParts.com

Yes, they will help. Don't remeber where and when, but I had a whole conversation with Navy about this exact topic a few months ago. Search the forrum under performance and I'm sure you'll fnid some discussions on this.

I am planning on getting this set here:

You would also need to order belts from here:

i was really looking forward to adding power to my 2008 Tc but also considering i have little experience installing such things on my car. that is what made the s/c so attractive . . . toyota could do it for me w/o voiding the warranty. now i am left to buy the kit (which you'd think would come down in price) and paying to auto shop somewhere to install it for me for an additional fee . . . .
