Opinions TRD supercharger mileage (1 Viewer)

[FZJFreddy]

I found a TRD supercharger kit for sale, and it is for sale in europe. This is a huge difference for us here because getting one from US would (besides the price they fetch nowadays) also mean a 21% vat over purchase+shipping price and 6% import cost. So about 30% over whatever the kit + shipping costs. The kit I found is pretty reasonably priced too at about 4000usd + 1000miles of driving since the seller doesn't want to ship it.

Now to the point, the kit has done about 70000 miles in the car and there isn't much option to get them properly rebuild herein europe that I can find. I see quit a lot of people on mud who get a second hand one send them to companies like Jon Bond performance to get them rebuild, what are your guys experiences with the TRD superchargers, how long do they last before they need mayor servicing?

As far as I can figure out its the earlier magnuson type, not a Eaton.

As I stated in my post yesterday that they are all manufactured by Eaton, @cruiserdan adding they are all M90 models. TRD and Magnusson only slapped their brand names on them. No difference.

Ok clear, but what is your guys experience with how long they last?

I found this on the site of one of the supercharger specialist in europe, what is your guys opionion about it?

Our M90 supercharger rebuild kits do not include the pair of bearings and seals which live between the rotors and timing gears in the middle of the rotor pack. This is because at manufacture Eaton rolls the casting onto the bearing outer race, permanently sealing them in and meaning the casing has to be fractured to remove those bearings. That said, these are in an oil bath and rarely fail – when we are rebuilding superchargers we do not change the rotor pack bearings. If they do fail, some service providers in the US do offer rebuild of the rotor pack, but the Eaton Corporation themselves consider this to be an unreliable and often unsuccessful route to repair – when the rotor pack is worn out or damaged the only dependable solution is a new rotor pack.

But searching through the internet I can't find new replacement rotorpacks for sale.
