+ =

 

Just finished her... pics and a thread of my own to come... will install the MAF Cal this weekend... enjoy


edit: removed vid for the time being

 

nut, glad you got everything taken care of. Sorry I wasn't around to help out, but brutha Wolfpack always got the straight scoop. Looking forward to the pics.

 

Good thing is though, that your write-up was done so well, that it would make it very difficult for anyone to make a mistake.

But constructive feedback is always respected.

 

yep! no worries man. yeah he helped me out. easy install, pretty much could have just opened the hood and thrown the box and everything fell into place haha... will post pics when i get back from so-cal (first week of june)

Anyway to cut the tube in order to keep my behind grill lights? Just wondering. I really like the kit but i can't lose my lights

 

I have a grill craft and the BAMF Light Bar. I will measure it as soon as I get home. Offshore working right now. Thanks for the input guys.

 

Thanks for the picks man, sick truck. Couldn't have done the install with out your tips!

Let the mods begin!

 

sub'd for future reference.

 

OP thanks for the pics. I used them to clean up the install with the air pump. Turned out great! didn't even need urd's install instructions...yours were great! BTW I put it on my trd superchager...looks great...sounds great...and really opended things up for me.

 

Post up some pics man!

 

Just finished installing the URD TCAI. will post pics later.

 

love to read more reports from those who've installed about perfomance improvement and especially concerning the MAF sensor calibrator. Is it worth all the trouble? how does the URD compair to other CAI's? is it TRUELY a cai system like they claim? Detailed pics of wiring it would really help if anyone has done it. Seriously considering this for next mod. For those of us with 2012's this seems like the only/best option for a CAI by far.

 

I just installed mine Ina 2013 taco. Do a search and you will find that There is already a write up here. I used that for my install.

 

that is up to the driver honestly and ur driving/offroad habits

not really that hard if u can solder

comparing them for sound or gains? some are loud inside while the URD is just a middle of the road aggressive growl inside, yet screams outside the cab.

it draws air from just behind the grill unlike ANY other intake, so I would say "yes"

wiring which 1?

the intake is simple.....strip/extend 1 wire at a time

calibrator.......if available for your application, its just a matter of checking 3-4 times before you strip any wires to SPLICE....and check another time before you do CUT the 1 or 2 wires required to hijack the signal.

 

^thank you. what i meant by MAF is do i need it or not? is it necessary? if youve installed this system would you do it over again or just skip it?

 

It isn't necessary, as in," the truck won't be able to run without it."

It is just an additional basic tuner that gives the owner the ability to optimize the tuning over stock. For increased power and efficiency.

Not near the capability of something like the UCON by URD or AEM Standalone from Dezod. But again, those are far overkill for just an intake.

 

^ if i do just the intake, no maf, will the truck run better than stock?

 

Nice good write up op +1 for you
