2002gt-s supercharger, worth it?

[BaNaNa CeLiCa]

I've got a 2002 celica gt-s, automatic ( ) , anyways, I was looking to put in a trd 1.8L supercharger. after doing some research, I don't know if it's worth putting like $3000 into it when the 1.8L engine already has a high compression ratio. Anybody know if I should go ahead or just save my money?

Save your money and go with a high performance muffler and a nice cold air intake. cost for top of line 200.00 and if you go cheap it will cost you 50.00 (cheap intake cherry bomb muffler)
Add a nos system to that car easy 500.00 will beat any turboized car.

Ok, I forgot to mention that the car's still on warranty, and I don't want to void it by using non-trd products. Also, I won't be paying for the supercharger, my dad will. I'm not as much worried about the price as I am about the actual performance increase that the supercharger will do. Know how much hp and torque increase it would make?

the trd supercharger is only for the GT not the GT-s
And even wihthe GT u will need to buy a new hood from trd

peronally i would go turbo, nos is good too as you would like to have it to spool up the turbo quicker. check out greddy, they have a lv.1 kit for 2500 i believe. good for about 6 lbs boost (thats an easy way to make 100+ hp and torque). u can jack up the boost on the turbo later when u make the motor alittle more durable.
