    Wow. I must need to get my foot checked... That would be nice to get that kind of range. I need an auxiliary fuel tank.

    Im looking for the pic i had... i entered the gallons at fillup into my garmin, it did the math based on miles driven via gps.

    Im not someone who tracks mileage, but on this trip i did. It wasnt a fluke either because i tend to fill up at a quarter tank all the time and the mileage per fillup seems consistant.

    Prerunner ftw..... still, the fact i get my sticker claimed mpg is pretty damn cool.

    Can you even route it out the side before the rear tire? I thought the leaf springs would be in the way.

    With the correct bends it should be no prob. I've eyeballed already. But I have only seen first gen tacos and tundras with the mod. You Can purchase exhaust cutouts of various shapes and sizes for the exit.

    I have a slight shimmy as well. I don't know if its because I'm lifted, hubs are going out, or what. I've just learned to live with it for now.

    Mine is stock, except for the supercharger. It feels like a center support bearing issue. Too cold for me to crawl under there at the moment.

    Video was a bit shaky but here's a screen shot. A blustery 32 degrees this evening after work. Not quite 9psi.

    Holy nutsack.

    I thought there would be a wire or two with these SpeedHut gauges and everything would be straightforward, but good God. What the hell is all this?

    Beautiful!

    I havent even started installing mine yet either lol. I opened the box, realized it was a lot more work than i thought, and closed it up for another day. That day still has not arrived. And with it dropping in the teens this weekend, not likely to be anytime soon.

    I'm wondering if the PLX Boost Module is even needed for the SpeedHut boost gauge... because as far as I can figure, it shouldn't be necessary. But it acts as the MAP sensor, so I'm even more confused.

    I didnt buy a plx. I got the innovate lc2 for the afr, the boost gauge, and the afr gauge. Thought the boost just plugged into electrical and the little nipple on top of the sc

    All white wires to the parking light circuit.
    All black wires to ground.
    All red wires to ignition.

    What all gauges did you get?

    Here are some wires you can tap into:

    Yep it's a bit nippy! Brrr!

    Its probably nowhere near as cold here as it is there, but I think that I'll pull the truck into the garage tonight and have a go at installing everything.

    I'm going to be pretty annoyed if I bought this PLX boost module for nothing. lol

    You are the man of the hour.

    Did you install an Add-A-Fuse anywhere? Or just splice/T in to existing wires?

    I have boost and AFR. Fuel pressure is on order.

    The boost gauge you just hook up ignition, ground and parking lights. Then run the sensor harness somewhere under the hood. I zip tied the sensor to the side of the big harness next to the brake booster. Then ran a vacuum hose from the sensor over to the boost reference nipple on the supercharger.

    If you bought the Speedhut boost gauge you don't need the plx thing. The sensor in the box with the gauge is all you need.

    I don't remember if the gauge comes with any vacuum hose though, so you may need to get a section of hose from vato-zone.

    EDIT: you should have some hose in the box with the gauge

    Haha. Well thanks! I tapped into existing wires. Soldered and taped. I did a whole remote start install as well so I already had the lower dash panel off.

    EDIT: you could do an add a fuse thingy, too. Same result.

    Aight. I'm assuming it's ideal to have the pressure sensor as immobile and as close to the boost nipple as possible.
