TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Officially boosted and running good on the TRD tune thanks @JustDSM



I got some Speedhut gauges on the way and looking to get an AFE stage 2 intake.

Then ill look into a smaller Pulley and install the URD walbro 255 fuel pump kit I have sitting on the side.

 

Nice! I have some speedhut guages and a AFE sg2 I just picked up. Will be installing an AEM fuel pump and smaller pulley hopefully soon. I am almost done with my setup pending NST shipping my pulley back.

You get the boost and AFR guages from speedhut? You going Loteck or the flexpod?

 

I am going to go with a flexpod.

I also ordered a trd cover for the afe intake from coupe. I still need to find the afe intake at a good price, everyone charges an arm and leg to ship to Hawaii.

 

we’re going to have the same radio and same supercharger setup.

what size pulley are you thinking of?

 

Hows the radio working out? I want to add a DSP for better sound and at least a 4 channel amp.

I have a 2.5 pulley ready for it and a backup 2.8 if I cant get to the valve body and fuel pump right away. Although its best to do both either way. First thing is to fire her up make sure its running then I will tackle the FP and VB.

 

The radio is great I’m using the canbus and I added a kicker key 4 channel amp it has a built in dsp. I probably gonna replace it later with a JL vxi dsp amp in the future.

I’m thinking about just doing a the fuel pump and 2.8 pulley and calling it good.

 

nice, yah def needs an amp. I was looking a Focal and JL amps. Was a big fan of JL back in the day.

And thats what they all say. The common feedback I got was the 2.5 is a sweet spot of power. But figure If I cant get to the valve body soon ill swap it the 2.8 but the 2.5 is the initial goal. just need to pull that 3.0 stocker off.

 

I'm scratching my head on this one. Contacted BORLA about a specific muffler. Was asked about the HP and projected HP for the truck. Guy said "Anything above 350+/400+ HP should be in a minimum 3"- 4" all the way back in a dual exhaust setup." I explained we have a gas tank on the drivers side. "Dump it out the sides before the tank if you can, or run them both down the same side."


Anyone done this? Seems that all the setups I have seen are y pipe to single muffler.


Magnaflow just said "Two mufflers inline in 3" is more than sufficient"

 

Both Borla and Magnaflow are giving you very standard generic blanket answers.

 

If the hasn't been THE most ANNOYING, yet rewarding mod I have ever done... Still in the process of getting it right too. Lol.

@arcenik do your steering wheel controls illuminate all the time?

 

Curious to see how that is. Most of the group is not running a dual exhaust setup. Y into single out

 

Looking clean

 

I want. What is that out of? Is it direct fit?

 

I'm actually thinking when I do my pipe again in 3" to have the muffler shop run expander couplers right after the cats and have the y remade to run closer to right below the transfer case output area to make the piping a little bit more even on both sides, then from there run a bolt on flange that allows me to disconnect the 2 into 1 section, so if I ever need to remove the output shaft at the transfer case I can just remove that section of the piping and do my work like I need to.

Well thank you good sir!

If you have a 2014 it is mostly direct fit. If you have a 2013 and under... Noooo... it is not fully direct fit and requires stupid work to make it all work if you want it to be 100% functional, but wheel itself fits no problem.

It's a Corolla wheel, and it's smaller than our OE wheel which is an awesome plus.

 

ah twin mufflers not dual exhaust. gotcha. Only uses 2.25 on the Y. Most guys were going bigger. Im still trying to figure this out myself.

 

Do we have a thread setup that has different exhaust setups for our SC'd trucks for us to check out and see whats worked well? I need to re-do my rerout and good time to modify my Y-Pipe. I have options of a 2.5 or 3" muffler in/out right now. That would be a rad thread. Ill spin one up if folks have interest in compiling SC exhaust setups. i did not see it in search.

 

There is no particular thread for exhaust setups, but I can create it actually because that's not a bad idea at all.

 

Lets GO Made the thread

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/f-i-and-n-a-exhaust-setups-discussion-and-bs-thread.658615/

 

FWIW I’m running a JL amp & sub with Focal speakers and love the setup

 

I was thinking we keep it specific to F/I exhaust not NA .there are plenty of NA threads.
