I was just curious, how much did you supercharger owners pay to get it installed.

Free... self-installed. :D I heard the best price was $450 at Oak Brook/Westmont Toyota, at least that's what was quoted to my friend 3 years ago. First S/C'd Gen4.5 in Chicago was done at Mid-Town on Western, for $600. :o

How long did it take you to do the install?

It took my friend and I about 10 hours total, since we were very careful as to not miss a step, drop a nut, etc., and had some food in between. We also had to visit the local hardware store twice since the TRD-supplied EGR valve bolts and T for the vacuum hoses were of wrong length and size, respectively. My friend was already S/C'd, so that helped in the visualization process.

Yeah, I was very happy at that price. I would try and bargain with the dealer. Mention that people have paid around $300 for the install from TRD dealers

Don't EVER take anything to Grossinger, they got fined for making up special versions of non-existant models, like the Camry GLE for a Gen4, it was even advertised on the newspaper before.
