    i really doubt a big company like greddy or hks does one for a corolla...look @ the trd supercharger....u can change out pulleys if u want more boost from it.

    lol dude, you keep asking the same question over and over and people keep answering you. Do you think that by asking the same question more than once is going to make a mass produced turbo for your car pop up?

    you got you answers. The big name companies dont make them, going to have to wait for one to come along or get the TRD kit. which while expensive is covered under warranty (i think) if you let them install it?

    The supercharger it self is under warrenty for like 12 months
    but if toyota installs it, its covered for a year or some amount of distance
    correct me if i'm wrong

    by getting your self a turbo kit, you basically end your warrenty
    sure turbo is nice, but don't expect anything to great
    its like 3k for the TRD supercharger, but it works for auto and manual without blowing anything.
    Your turbo kit may cost more due to the fact that you
    need the kit it self, just parts
    more labour
    bullet proofing your engine and by that I mean crank, pistons, etc
    safety items. seats, brakes system, tires,

    the kit it self anyone can make up but its not that good unless you know something about what your doing

    With the TRD kit your safe, uses everything stock. except for the recommendaiton of using TRD filter.

    ya...ive seen some for 1699 and silvrstreek...u say trd is too expensive....do you know how much a custom fabbed turbo kit would cost compared to the supercharger which a) doesn't void your warranty b) its made by trd so u know it works for YOUR specific car and c) i would imagine install time and cost are both a lot lower than a custom turbo.

    Also, the s/c pretty much bolts on...you don't have to deal with all the plumbing work that a turbo would involve.

    i wouldnt go turbo. seriously. with stock internals ull only be puttin on 2 more pounds of boost than the trd s/c on stock internals. if u ask me its not worth the extra money, the warranty destruction, and the hassle (u would have MANY stressful experiences getting it in and everything) is turbo worth 2 more grand to you than a supercharger?

    It all depends on what he wants... If he wants a fun car to drive, go for SC... If speed and power is the ultimate goal, turbo is the answer...

    The SC keeps dropping in price and with other boltons you can see almost 200hp... Granted the turbo will get you more power over the SC... But with turbo be prepared to pay for more then just the kit, since you might need tuning,gauges,turbo timer, etc etc...

    And remember... Speed costs money, how fast do u wanna go?

    better explain it before someone freaks... I mean the supercharger gets you maybe 145 or something weak to the wheels... I cant remember the dyno anymore where as a turbo at same psi will get you 2 - 3 times the increase....

    105 at wheels to 145 at wheels vs 105 at wheels to 220 at wheels....

    im sure the supercharger gives more though... altho... itd be nicer if you could intercool it then youd gain even more!

    i really dont think a turbocharger will boost ur car 115 hp when ur only @ 105 to begin w. superchargers usually advertise 40% add-on. the reason because supercharger wouldnt get u as much is because it is powered by the crank, among other reasons.

    Yea I have seen the superchargers go for about $1699 -1899 shipped on ebay and matrixowners. Matter of fact, I think they have a groupbuy going on right now.
    HOWEVER it will NOT work with an 05. So that will not work for the original poster. He will have to check about the turbo kit as well. The 05 has drive by wire and also more emissions things like different VSV lines and cannister.
