I am looking to buy a used tacoma, and I came across one that has the dealer installed TRD supercharger. The truck has 32,000miles on it. I know they have lean problems, so my question is..Has the damage already been done? I'd love the extra power, but I'd rather have a motor that I dont have to worry about. Also, about how much does it cost to do the fuel upgrades to get it running right? And how about transmission longevity...I've heard there have been some issues with the autos with superchargers, but how about the 5spds, this truck is a 5spd.

Thanks

EDIT: A supercharged truck requires premium fuel, right?

Gas prices alone and the speculation for their continued rise would be enough to turn me off of the supercharger, not to mention the headaches it may cause down the road.
