3.4L v6 with Supercharger

[nitrokng]

I am considering a 2001 4R with the TRD pkg & OEM supercharger. Does anyone have any bad things to say about it? Reliability issues?

I have almost 100K miles on this set-up and not had ANY problems what-so-ever. I even have the original belt on it! Best performance money I've ever spent, and I've spent some money.

Like you, I was considering buying one w/ the s.c. installed in it, but due to money reasons, I couldn't cough up enough to buy it.

I can tell you, you'll have to run Supreme gas w/ a supercharger. Everyone I've talked to has said this. However, it that isn't a big deal, then go for it. If properly maintained, they will last well over a 100k miles. Here is a good site on superchargers from beginning to end!

Premium fuel is absolute; damage will accrue if not used. It is worth the extra cost!

Maybe it's just me, but I'd be a little scared to buy something already supercharged.

If a factory option, then maybe, but if someone did it then they probably did it for a reason and drove the car a little different than others.

Supercharger=more power=faster ride=more wear on the car?=takes a beating on the powertrain?

Like I said, maybe it's just me.
What do owners say about this?
