Can you have a CAI with S/C?

hey so i was just wondering with the supercharger if anyone has a CAI, i thought i have seen one before but then my friends yesterday said you can't, then after that i started looking online and really haven't seen anyone with a supercharger and intake??? any ideas? i know with a roots type you can but centrifical it depends on the car....whats our car like?

I've seen someone modify a K&N CAI to fit on a the TRD S/C (his Toyota dealership did it for him - but the dealership sponsors their local Scion Club)...it looks like a project, though. If/when I get the TRD S/C (this makes me feel old, but I'm warranty-minded), I will most likely sell my CAI.

It is possible, though.

Lookee here. Only about $30 from Autozone and works just fine. Looks a lil do-it-yourself but it is a temp solution till I get my air to liquid heat exchanger built.

well the reason i asked was because i have the TRD intake...but i wanted to know whether i could still use it when i got the S/C or not...or if i'd have to install the stock one again...u kno/??

Thanks. You would have to modify the TRD or any aftermarket for that matter to work on the S/C. You will run into probs if you don't match the same airflow trajectories as the OEM box. The distance to the S/C impeller makes a huge difference in airflow. Change the airflow on a MAF and the tuning will get out of wack on the ECM. I think the ARC intake might work out of the box. There is a guy at garage111 or something like that. Dont remember the URL.
