TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Got any pictures of it? Thoughts on the carbon vs just plastic? That’s exactly what I’m trying to get.

 

i need a gofundme account.

 

You are preaching to the choir here son.

do not be ashamed. ive spent nearly a grand on 2+ intakes on this truck. carbon is bitchin'!

 

Gentlemen, with HPtune......so did the sai get totally eliminated from the possibility of deleting it (for testing and or off road purposes)? Or did the powers at be figure out how to work around it?

 

Some say it hasn’t been seen in months

 

mines in a storage locker. works fine there.

 

It works just as well in the storage shed as it does in the truck.

 

10-4. I ask because I thought one time when while lightly checking out the thread, that was the topic of discussion and it had been wiped from the possibility.

 

$20 is nothing compared to this stupid thing. That’s a $500 scoop. But then next to the carbon tube will be the Prometh billet nozzle holder anyway.

 

Well that’s good to hear so that when I’m ready to go there......it’s there.

 

There was a post on a GM centric FB group of HPT users (a help group of sorts) where one individual noted that in his GM diesel application the EGR map in the software was no longer present. People on the group grabbed their pitch forks..

From someone who's worked with HPT, during the transition to the MPVI2 from the orignal MPVI, I can give a little insight into the matter.

Some background. HPT has offered their orignal MPVI in standard and "pro" versions just as they do with the MPVI2. The pro features aren't cheap. So naturally, budget minded folks have resorted to clever methods to get around buying the pro features. It's no secret that HPT is the gold standard in GM factory PCM tuning. They've literally got EVERYTHING available in the editor to tune/delete/etc. On those diesel applications and even gas powered applications, a common thing to do is delete the EGR valve or similar emissions stuff (just like we do with the SAI system). Well, since HPT has defined literally everything for those applications, they simply delete the EGR and then repurpose the ECU input for the EGR system as a wideband input. They'll recalibrate the EGR table in the ECU to match the 5v analog output of an aftermarket Wideband O2 and then be able to datalog the wideband without buying the pro features.

Well, HPT wanted their hard earned money for the pro features, so they removed the ability from the editor for folks to use spare inputs in the ECU for feature that are supposed to be used in the pro feature set. Essentially forcing folks to get the pro features for that type of functionality. I get both parties stance.

So when word got out that HPT had removed that feature set, people here caught wind of it and thought they'd lose functionality. But after I made sense of WHAT was done and deduced the motive for the change, it made sense, and I was able to quell the worry we'd lose that functionality. I highly doubt we'll lose that functionality so long as we keep things chill, and not flaunt any blatant misuse.

Hope that clears it up some.

 

very clear. i understand a buisness needs to produce profit for their efforts. i need hp tuners for my truck. if i need to buy the pro set up ill do it. ill be greatful its avalable. and ill buy if and when @JustDSM says so.

 

Yes, that makes perfect sense. I also agree with you as well in regards to the position of both parties. Furthermore, I’m completely in agreement about keeping it chill, low key, and not make it anymore public if you will and lose a good thing.

 

Further translated.

 

Thank you. Which is precisely why I queried about the specific mods. Unless that dyno is on LPG? I do believe it was done on a dynapak, which typically are the lowest out dyno's though.

 

Mines up on the Wall of Shame with other unwanted or failed parts collected throughout the years

 

It is one of the most shameful components Toyota managed to install on a Tacoma. Except for the minivan engine in the 3rd Gen....
