Jamie at Sparks Toyota (www.sparkstoyota.com), an authorized vendor, has the supercharger and fit kit for $5500 plus shipping, but is out of stock right now on both. If you buy it from Toyota and have them install it, then it would be covered under your warranty. You can PM Jamie if you want more info.

turbo or super?

Do you want a Turbo-charger or a Super-charger? I'm not aware of a turbo made for the Tundra however, I'd sure be interested in one.
Turbo's utilize exhaust flow...Superchargers use a pulley off the engine to create the air force.

Sorry justin... I misread your post. Like mistert, I too have not heard of a turbocharger available for the Tundra.

justin, you might need to get one custom made for it. I did a search, and couldn't come up with anything. But a turbo probably would void your warranty- supercharger probably the best way to go.

you're going to have to piece one together. Find someone to fab you up custom exhaust manifolds and piping then all you need is the turbo, intercooler and other accessories.

Just because my curiosity has gotten the better of me, why not go with a $6K installed/warranteed genuine Toyota manufactured/tuned part? The R&D that Toyota put into its supercharger cannot be matched by any aftermarket shop. Oh, and the supercharger is making 550 pound-feet of torque. That should be enough for you.
