What do you mean by "boost your charger"? You mean more PSI?

^ agreed, if you mean more boost then you need a smaller pulley.

yea i wanna push out about 10-12 psi. so i just need a smaller pulley?

lol, no. You need to rework your internals if you want to run that high.

7 psi or more will=KABOOM

to even run 6 psi you will need a pulley, some form of managment (piggyback or standalone) a fuel pump, injectors, etc. Is your car a manual? If so, a clutch will probably be in order since it wont be able to hold the extra torque. If youre an automatic, the transmission will not sustain 7 psi from what i have read... so you wold need to have one custom buillt. Pretty much anything over 7 psi requires internals to be run safely or you WILL blow your car up...

That being said, here is pretty much the last source for TRD supercharger pullies:

Definitely requires internal work (for 10-12 like u want), if you do not want to do that, DO NOT GO OVER 6PSI!!! 7psi is where u will start destroying your piston rings, again, do not go to 7psi.

If rebuilding is something you want to do, I might also suggest having the SC rebuilt as well. search on solaraguy.org for some more details on that and to your other inquiry.

lol i dont have the money to rebuild the sc so i guess ill try about 5psi. ill probably rebuild the supercharger in a few months and do all the internals and stuff

^ 5.5 psi seems to make the supercharger very happy while maintaining a conservative level of boost- I would still go with fuel mods and a piggyback for 5.5 psi.

Most definately. I had my solara at 4psi, no fuel mods and it caused detonation..... lol, well that and my driving.....

sounds good that should go well the the brembo brake system i just installed lol
