TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

You know, I'm almost halfway tempted to see if we could get this thing sponsored the road trip at least. Similar to the way that they had the MOAB trip sponsored a few years back on here.

No problem buddy.

 

I am referring to one of the add a fuses not a tap. Basically taps in like a fuse but can take 2 fuses. Def not a tap. Seems more stable then the t tap they provide. But makes sense if you have 2 fuses instead of 1 you would never know. The other day I ad pulled the fuse to tine and it was not fully seated no idea until I went to pull it again. Luckily I am mainly driving to tune it right now.

 

that engine cage is awesome. is it removable? I assume so because damn that would be a bitch to do work. I have been debating on something up front. But prob wont do that unless I change up suspension.

 

nice looking forward to see what you end up wth. I have a similar deal that I got for my headlights when I tried to get fancy with Halos that tells me what color they are. almost wonder if we could make it fancy enough to show one color when on and another color when off. red vs green for example.

 

ok so I’m new to this and would like info. I found this company that says they’ll service the Magnuson SC. Has anyone done business with them or heard of them before. I’m not mechanical inclined to work on my truck myself and therefore have to spend money to pay others people to do it for me. Let me know

 

tell me more about this gauge. I have 2 spots for gauges with an idea I should have more than just boost and wideband.

 

thats one that comes up often. FYI I think they have a new number. I hit them up for a recent almost big issue and had to email and they provided me a different number.

 

I like how your thinking.... but we need to go early so we can get some @Roostfactor time... =)

 

looking to giving my truck a little more TLC. Any ideas right off the bat.

 

Qwikchange hub and pulley setup with Matching shorter belt. =)

 

Great thanks for the advise now just have to find someone to do it.

 

just get the tool and do it yourself. Its not to hard give you do it right (ask me how I know haha) but if you can handle a ratchet its a 30 min job to cut and 30-60 to press depending. Just need the URD snout tool and pulley press ( and a pulley removal too). Most of us here have tools for loan (pay to use and refund) or buy direct from URD.

 

Roush tensioner with the 50mm double bearing roller and definitely a fuel pump

 

Yes it’s removable there’s a section planned to have disconnects added whenever I need to pull it. But I needed about $350 in tube connectors and didn’t have them at the time.

 

oh the fuel pump hahaha (dont worry its next)

 

haha nice! love it! Keep that saw handy for trips until then. Def need some hard core support work done.

 

Seriously, no BS but you lost me at ”ratchet” lol. I really wanna do upgrades to extend the life of my SC and have better over all performance.

 

Don't worry that shit got me all mixed and I got myself in a jam but once you have an idea of what is needed.

but based on what folks said without going crazy: Fuel pump, roush tensioner and 50 double roller that @12TRDTacoma said

The next up quick change pulley setup with at least a 2.8. ( Easier to downsize if you feel like it dow the line)

Ratchet ie: this or a wrench ratchet.

 

Lol, I’ll browse around the forum for more information thanks and be safe out there!!

 

Sounds good. Page 1 of this thread pretty much is the bible of S/C upgrades/tips/maintenance. Also everyone here is here for the sake of getting us all boosted. Would not have completed my install without them, at least not correctly since I added a bunch of extras right off the bat.
