2008 Toyota Tundra TRD Supercharger Installation

Going fast is like trying not to eat the last Oreo cookie in the jar, you just can't help it. Once you've experienced raw power, it lives inside of you and its only desire is to be unleashed every time you drive your truck. The new Tundra is quite a powerful truck from its Texas factory with 381 hp and 401 lb-ft of torque on tap. As much fun as 381 hp is, 504 hp is by far better and with the installation of the new TRD supercharger, your Tundra can easily be transformed into a rocket ship. The best part of this equation? Your money is well spent with a 3-year or 36,000-mile warranty when installed by a certified Toyota dealership. Going fast the reliable way, now we're talking.

Another great bonus in this TRD kit, everything is included right down to the washers and zip-ties. It's also 50-state CARB legal, so there will be no issues getting your truck smog certified. Whether daily driving the Tundra to work, towing your toy of choice, or lining up next to a sport truck at a stoplight, we were certain the Tundra would be more enjoyable to drive with over 500 hp and right at 550lb-ft of torque. People say they want a Tundra diesel, well with that much torque, who needs a diesel?

To see just how much fun could be had behind the wheel of a Toyota Tundra, we visited Green Toyota, in Springfield, Illinois, where General Manager Mylas Copeland teamed us up with installer Kurt Spann. As a Master ASE certified mechanic, we had little doubt in his abilities, but it was Kurt's enthusiasm for the TRD products that we appreciated the most. With our test '08 Tundra up on the lift, Kurt quickly began to install the TRD supercharger. A full day's work later, we went on a much anticipated test drive.
