for the people who have one what did you mpg go to after installed for normal driving. to and from work and stuff. would love to hav e one but already trying to regain mpg from lift and tires.
Well, so far I can verify that you have to use premium. Still no answers on mechanical issues caused by the supercharger, specifically in the manual Tranny.
Another piece of info from a mech up here in CO is that initially the SC helps with mileage until you start doggin it...Then it drinks fuel.
I didn't have one installed at purchase and am waiting to see what power is like after new steel bumpers, winch, tires.
If I need more power afterwards I'll think about it...Dealer installed here it's about $4,800 plus $700 for install.

If you have a Toyota Dealer Install the SC, your factory warranty is maintained. If the SC as especially hard on the manual trans, then I don't think Toyota would be selling it with warranty liability.
See my report at: https://forum.ih8mud.com/fj-cruiser/230147-trd-supercharger-report.html.
I had my local Toyota Dealer do my SC install and TRD CAI and TRD Cat-back at the same time. My dealer gives customers who bought their vehicle from them 25% all aftermarket parts. Here is how it broke down for me:
TRD Supercharger kit 3312
FJ Fit Kit 360
Labor 468
TRD Cat-Back 399
Labor 78
TRD CAI 319
Labor 117
It was worth it for me to have the extra power which I need with a set of larger tires and heavy bumpers.

With all the knowledge you have on superchargers for an 80 (actually a TRD for a 4.5 in a 97 LX450) I wonder if you could help source a waste gate actuator. The tech tells me that the diaphragm is torn. Installed in2003 toyota no longer stocks parts for the ptr29-60097.
Thanks for your help.
