TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

I haven't encountered any noise at all. Although I'm in CarPlay whenever I'm in the truck. So, I'm not listening to broadcast radio. I'll try some AM/FM out tomorrow and see.

 

any chance you could let me know the group buy amount on the lower pivot and UCAs via PM?

 

I've got a little project happening. Would be easiest to just click the "other car" build thread link at the bottom of my posts. I don't have any "finished" pics yet for obvious reasons. But, I'm actually pretty close. Just need to be less distracted by other stuff. Like this truck!

2012 135i to 1M conversion. The only part of the car unchanged is the doors. All OEM sheetmetal with the exception of all the carbon stuff.
It's been a heck of a project.

Pic is also starring my Taco.

 

I've seen a bit on Instagram and I can say without hesitation Jake has some serious skills!!!

 

He is definitely an enthusiast of cars and it's evident based on his posts and overall work.

 

Yes, i have done it but i have to take the fan clutch off to do it. After that, its a piece of cake

 

@TRON i was looking at these 934s the other day. Looks like they may be a promising option for cv's for us lowered 4wd guys

 

My project vehicle/weekend driver is the truck. Rarely ever drive it so it's always loads of fun to get into after getting used to my daily driver 4 cylinder

 

God I really want a Softopper for my junker but I can't seem to find a used one anywhere.

People really like them apparently.

 

short bed or long bed ?

 

Long

 

mistakes were made. Should have gotten rid of it long ago. But its the whole first car sentimental thing.

 

Keep an eye out, i see em pop up for sale every once in a while. They are typically priced good used so they dont last long

 

Yeah that's the problem. They go incredibly quick, I've hady eye out for them for the last two or three months but no dice.

 

Ill be honest, i have a softopper on my long bed too, and it is much more of a nuissance on the long bed. Huge ass blind spot. Not so bad on the short bed bc you can see out of the passenger rear window, but on long bed it is a good bit worse. Just figured id throw that out there, dont get me wrong i love my softopper but it is a pita at times

 

I've driven a first gen with one and it felt very organic to the truck. Like I didn't mind the blindness from the rearview mirror at all.

I just think it would be great to have for those long trips for camping or the puppy doge that way he stops BOMBING my interior with hair.

 

Yeah it is unbeatable if you want to take it on and off frequently or use it for trips. Can put it on or take it off completely in less than 10 mins by yourself

 

See that's awesome. That and the fact that you can ride on it convertible style (right?) And just have the cage part of it exposed too makes it for a very flexible rig.
