TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

@loginfailed , would you still happen to have the links to the speedhut gauges that you bought originally for your S/C? I was looking through the group buy thread, I know you posted it. Just can't find it. @Darkgoatracer is looking to do what you did and run dual widebands, so he is looking to order a second afr gauge that will match the first. I looked back through my email, and cant find the order confirmation anymore. Must have deleted it.
I know I based mine off yours, and it was very similar.

 

36 degrees right now boys. Going for a ride with some xrunner guys through the white mountains of nh. Great day to be boosted. Will post some pics later.

 

I think it was this one:

https://www.speedhut.com/gauge/GL-AFWB-01/7/Air-Fuel-Gauge-Wide-Band-10-18-(FOR-INNOVATE)

Black Dial, Silver Text, Eurostile Font, Blue Illumination, Steath Black Bezel

On the blade, they have a lot more options now than they did then. But I think mine was:
“Black Blade, Racer Red (Glows Red)

 

Everyday is a good day to be boosted!

I know I was loving every second of it yesterday. 1789 miles, without having to knock the auto into 4th gear one time due to hunting in my eight thousand pound Taco / trailer combo.

Used a LOT of fuel however...

 

36. Haven’t seen that temp in a long time. In Dallas they talk about Artic Blasts when it gets below 40.

 

This thread has been very active since yesterday!

@RyanL qwikchange pulley. If you live at high elevations you can get away with running smaller pulley's due to the fact that boost is less the higher in elevation you go.

Make sure you run an AFR/ boost gauge combo whatever you do, AND make sure you swap out the factory fuel pump whatever you do as well. Both are essentials and mandatory prerequisites if you want to begin modding. After that a qwikchange set up is the best ideal way to go for you and depending how much boost you are pushing, anything that gets you past 8.5 psi and you are going to want to rehaul your valve body in your transmission.

Welcome to the madness.

 

37* out right now. Going to have one last bomber run before I get rid of it.
The pulley that is. Going to do some pulley swap(s) with @crashnburn80 after the game.

 

You going larger?

 

You mean smaller.

 

Larger boost

 

How have you been enjoying the truck since all the changes.....mainly the headers and pulley?

 

I love it. 1st gear is kinda worthless because it redlines immediately. I think there is enough room with the TRD tune and fpr mod to go to the 2.5”.

 

Yeah, you can do it and see how it goes....

 

If it works at 500’ of elevation, it’ll work in CO. Live a little! Life should be fun.

Sitting here downloading all the pics from my daughter’s wedding wondering when I became the old guy in the room.

 

You can always move to Alabama... js

 

Ahhh...your an animal!!

 

I went as far as to head to Benning to the maneuver course before going back to Rucker....haha.

Doubt I’ll ever head back there

 

It's crazy how slowly it happens. I figured it out when the guys coming into the military were born after I graduated high school.

 

Other than schools, I avoided Rucker at all costs. Redstone is a whole different world.

 

You are the man. Once again. @Darkgoatracer im pretty sure this is the one. Just match up what options match the one you already have. Or you could just buy two new ones if you were looking for a different theme as long as they work with the innovate lc-2 i linked you to, they should work fine.
