They put their name on it didnt they? If I owned this company, I wouldn't disclose anything that wasn't reliable, nor would I put my company name on it. Of course it's a turbo, you will have problems with turbos.

What kind of problems do turbos have or cause?and are they real bad?
As far as I know there are only 2 people who actually doing supercharger and TRD is not 1 of them. Blitz is doing one and Magnacharger is doing the other. Blitz SC Celica GTS has already been to shows, I actually took a picture of it in a muffler shop which shows its nearly completion just waiting for reliability test. Magnacharger is doing one for Hotchikis Celica GTS it is still in the working stages, but I think Magnacharger one is more hardcore SC unit because they ceramic coated the whole engine for Hotchikis... As for TRD they always claim something they never deliver, I will believe they have one when I see it in either sitting on a celica or in parts department being sold.
I'm guessing you will need a return fuel line, a better fuel management system, possibly fuel injectors, and boost controller? That would be quite a bit extra. Oh yea, I forgot to consider the installation prices.

Boost Controller I got is top of the line Blitz SBC i-D which I see is betweem $400~$500. Fuel pump + regulator + return fuel line is well over $600. Install on turbo and all these parts will be over $1,000. Don't just think buying an SC and thats it... Now with turbo-performance kit they will do install for like $250~$500 for whole basic turbo kit, turbo-performance is the best bang for the buck.

Superchargers are not about a top end horsepower number,but are about the performance down in the lower rpms since the supercharger kicks in right away. The blitz makes 50 whp I believe.
