I saw one available from Camel Back Toyota in AZ, new from dealer, ordered it online. Don't think they actually have any since my cc was just credited amount of purchase.
So are there any TRD Superchargers left?

At some point in the next year or two my 1FZ-FE complete with TRD charger will go up for sale...following a Mr. T diesel and H151F transplant. 
If you do find one, it's worth it. Trust me.
If I don't want the TRD fan, what fan do I use?
16361-61020
Or a 16361-65020
Or an original fan with Landtank's custom clutch and no fan spacer. (The best solution in my view.)

Would I need a fan spacer to run either of these? What about different bolts etc?
Yes, you do. The S/C kit included a fan spacer and longer water pump studs.
If you have no fan, no spacer and no studs you would absolutely be better off getting Landtank's custom clutch. Use your orignal fan and skip the spacer.

Landtank's custom clutch is not available for public consumption yet.
I bet he'd sell one. Mine is buzzing along just dandy.

Wits' End
I need to get off my ass and just install it already. I know he's waiting for some input.
He already knows mine's good. Get busy....
I wouldn't... From this thread: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/trd-supercharger-questions.787264/page-10#post-9493723
CX Racing has been around for several years. They make good $$ cuz they sell kits that are like 1/4 of the price of a real, well designed, complete turbo kit. It's just like a cheap Chinese Ebay kit. Thin walled piping, weak clamps, and poorly fitting couplers. There are a few guys on the MR2OC Forum running their IC's (the only good thing in their kits), but even those don't come with a fan or shroud.
So if you just want ANYTHING to make you more power, without regard for how poorly constructed and poorly fitting it'll be, knowing you'll have to likely go back and redo it later, sure, they're an optionOtherwise, just remember that you get what you pay for.
Unless I score a BNIB TRD Supercharger someone's been holding onto, I'm gonna prob. take the plunge and get the Sprintex unit, but use my own air-to-air IC via a hood scoop (like a WRX). Stock fuel system though. The truck is the most reliable thing I own, even though it's one of the oldest things I own lol. Trying to keep it like that
Ok so in that kit you get the absolute cheapest turbo, blow off valve and wastegate, but you get a cheap A/A intercooler that can't be used offroad because it hangs under the frame rails for the same price as the Borg Warner and Tial setup I posted earlier in the thread. You can lead a horse to water lol

what is so attractive about the word "kit"?
It could be the crappiest, most incomplete "kit" in the world
Put some thought into it now, or troubleshoot it till the cows come home later.
scottryana,
you have to say your "kit" is a new type of "easy, full bolt on kit"
it's a fun system where you take the list provided,
go search and buy all the parts yourself- like a fun scavenger hunt!
there are "gold nuggets" along the way,
where you get to talk to real experts and have them fabricate cool custom parts just for you!
-people love "custom"- yet these pros will make the parts "bolt on" to your "kit"!
so fun and easy!

The more I think about this the more disappointed I get. I mean... blasting past you in the hills on our way to the desert? That's all part of the fun for me. Breaks up the monotony. Now what am I going to do for entertainment?
...I guess it could be worse. You could be doing the V8 swap you talked about. Then I'd be the entertainment.
