TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Yes, and that it is leaking. Get that handled before it takes out the terminals. Happened on mine.

 

I think the vid is of a 3rd Gen.... the OVT photo prior is an 1grfe.


And yes...my factory battery took a crap right around 5yr mark. I think yours is probably due.

 

Is that SEMA or something? Which Gen is that?

Edit* posted before catching up. Carry on.

 

Non USDM? Look where the brake booster is. Passenger side

 

Thanks man and @rheath08. I’ll go tomorrow and get an Interstate, it’s my battery of choice. Yes that’s a 3rd gen........

 

Here’s mine to make you feel better. Anytime you think yours is dirty just ask and I’ll snap one of mine to make you think yours is spotless.



Granted I am still working in there and chopping stuff up

 

Lifts hood. Looks at air filter. Still breathing. Clean enough. Closes hood. I'm done here.

 

I’ll be very surprised when the 300 series makes it over to us what engine options they will have. I can definitely see the 3.5l TT hybrid but part of me thinks I can also see a diesel. Diesels are common as hell over here. Currently in the 200 series they have a TT v8 diesel I think it’s a 4.5L I don’t think they will come out with a diesel due to pollution and I think diesel will be fazed out in time. But who knows.

 

I was actually disappointed in myself when I moved the intake to this position to accommodate for the engine cage with how much dirt was past the filter and in all sections of intake tubing and throttle body.

I wasn’t surprised, just disappointed. Truck is used 90% off road and I had the intake in the standard urd tcai location in front of the radiator. Now it’s inside a nonexistent wheel well. As soon as funds are available I’ll probably bite the bullet and buy a ump air box/filter to better filter dirt from the engine.

 

Do you ever run panty hose or a filter sock over your filter? It'd help some.

 

ive got a prefilter for that specific filter if need be.

 

In the dunes yes, otherwise I don’t.

 

it provides a little restriction. since you have your intake pipe reversed have you considered putting it through the firewall into the cavity behind? i saw that done here a while back.

 

I considered it but I’m pretty sure you need an air box for that and then you just run the intake tube into that section. And I don’t have an air box.

 

I’m sure this has been covered, however, does anyone have the URD true CAI and somewhat regularly sees rain or snow?

 

Yes however now I have it rerouted.

But occasionally the truck would stumble, stall at idle, and throw codes for the MAF. If I could, I’d kick it into neutral, give it a few revs and it would clear up.

 

@JuanitoBunito

By occasionally, I mean sometimes it would happen multiple times a day and multiple days in a row, and other times it wouldn’t happen for months. Just takes the perfect conditions for it to act up. Never left me stranded or caused more than a few moments of concern.

 

Yeah that’s what I figured. This alone is enough for me not to switch to it.

 

is there any reason i couldnt use 2005-2011 headers on my 2014 since ive deleted the air injection with HPtuner?

 

If you have the tubes capped off (which you should) and it’s deleted from the ECU (which it is) I couldn’t see why you couldn’t.....
