The kit that is on the car is the Greddy kit that is designed for the Celica GTS. The kit comes with the supercharger, 4 440cc injectors and the e manage ultimate piggy back computer, as well as a serpentine belt and tensioner. The car makes 175 at the wheels and 200 at the crank but I have a stock exhaust just a Solo muffler and no custom header.The car is tuned but not maxed out though I'm figuring I'm running about 6 to 8 lbs of boost.Anyone that wants to do this must contact JRP in Mississagua, Ontario or call Greddy direct. I put an ACT clutch in and have KVR pads and rotors for the front.Overall the car pulls very well from 4000 rpm and up but has a miss fire on exceleration.The price Canadian for the kit was $5,400 plus labour wich was another 3,800 so if you have the money go for it, it's worth it for the fun factor other wise just get a chip or piggy back of another make. I find that the ECU is very tempermental and always wants to relearn in the beginning. Also to have the supercharger fit you need to get an aftermarket rad and fan shroud because the stock one does not have enough clearance. I have a Mishimoto RX7 rad and Mishimoto fan shroud hooked up and a greddy catch can for the resevoir.Overall the engine has been reliable, I have had the kit on since August and have only had the serpentine belt slip off and then get replaced, the belt does not have much clearance and tends to rub on the bottom of the belt sometimes.Any questions about the install feel free to ask.Oh I am going to post pictures of the install ASAP

I'm looking into supercharging my 2003 GT. Just a few questions:
- Did you need to have the alternator remounted to fit the SC?
- How is the fitment of the new radiator? Are there many custom brackets required?
- Any issues with reliability?
- How's the fuel economy?
- Maximum boost you're comfortable running?
- Ease of reprogramming the piggyback?
I'm in Onterrible too, Barrie. I'd love to take a look at it and see what I'd be getting myself into!
