    What's the best way to gain hp on a 08 2.7 Tacoma ? Right now it has a 2.75 fat bobs lift with 29 inch tire and 410 gears . I need a little more power to tow my trailer .

    There are a lot of mods that you can do the cheap way and still look good but when it comes to performance, especially forced induction, you don't wanna skip out on it and do it cheap. You really do get what you paid for. I had a friend years ago try to skimp on parts when he was building a turbo kit. He got one of those ebay down piping and intercoolers for like $150-$200 and when it came in the pipes didn't seal with the intercooler and the bends in the pipe were WAAAAY off, pretty much to the point to where they couldn't be used.

    You're already geared, which means it's time to supercharge that shit.

    I am looking into supercharging the 2.7 with the URD kit. Yea it may be cheaper to upgrade to the V6 but I like my single cab and you have to get a bigger truck to get the V6, with lots of extras. I have the V6 supercharged in my FJ cruiser because it doesn't come with a V8. To be honest it is faster than a V8 now. I bet a supercharged 2.7L single cab 4x4 would be very fast as well.

    Get a new truck or fork out the $$$$ for a supercharger. Simple as that.

    this might be a dumb question but ive always wondered if those sound like a supercharger (distinctive whine) or does it sound like a turbo?

    "The Rotrex is most advanced supercharger design on the market today. It features a small compact foot print with almost completely silent operation, with a very highly efficient traction roller drive system that will spin the turbo type impeller 9.4 times faster than the belt drive pulley is turned. This high step up ratio and small diameter turbo style impeller brings boost in sooner than other more common types of centrifugal superchargers. This gives you very nice off the line performance combined with unmatched top end power.
    The overall operation of the supercharger system is nearly completely silent, but we have added a turbo style blow off valve will announce that your Tacoma indeed boosted. When the throttle is suddenly closed when the engine is at high RPM like shifting gears with boost, the blow off valve will cycle with a very crisp note typical of high performance turbo systems. It is always a crowd pleaser"DSCF4940p.jpg
