What kind of power did it/does it make? Does it whine?!

I doubt it will see a dyno any time soon. But.... most of the guys providing dyno numbers made around 150hp stock (to the tire. Rated at 190hp crank) and around 220-230hp (again, to the tire) after the supercharger. It's a very noticeable difference. It's not FAST. I'm sure a Hemi Ram would still pull away, but it's a lot more fun with the supercharger than without.

And yeah, it whines. I've seen some videos where it's VERY loud and I'm guessing those guys have some sort of very open cold air intake.

Mine is not as loud as this:

Probably makes it more manageable with those tires. Tacomas are hard to judge tire size, are those 33s or 35s?

Those dudes are definitely trying to kill drivelines! No Fear when you have some tow straps!

Looks good! I can't remember, is this the one that went through the crash, or did you find a new one?

It's a new one (to me). It's the same, but different

The good:
Less rust, although my old one was pretty clean too
Less miles at 104k vs 190k
Supercharged
5-speed manual

The bad:
2 door instead of 4 door (but I have the Landcruiser for family offroading)
Not the TRD model, so it doesn't have the electric rear locking diff
No ARB Bumper or sliders
