It's not too bad, but the fitment kit has been delayed until late July :doh: No reason was given though.

Just a heads up for any Automatic owners considering the charger.

Sold 2 chargers already :P Both local.

Hmm... the announcement may be wrong. The Toyota announcement says late July, but my order just came in this afternoon.

Hahahaha, Profit margins are super slim on superchargers. =P

The market has always been the same though. If people want them bad enough, they will purchase it. Even the Tundra supercharger ($6000) has started moving... that one is scary though x_X

i was messin around at work today and brought up the part number in the system. It says that its available, however im not sure how true that is.

Could be that we have it in the system but we cant order it right now.

And as xravexboix said, profit margins on a s/c is pathetically small
