TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Hide it in the glovebox where that ugly piece belongs

 

I know the feeling...I just had to replace my whole ABS solenoid. I know sometimes things just break. I went through every step of the FSM and finally step 9, replace ABS solenoid. I am fairly certain I didn’t help it when I welded on my new shock tabs.

 

Much better than I would have thought from the website product pics. Might be able to make that work with the Flexpod.

 

So the question I haven't seen asked yet - How much of a gain did you see and what else did it effect? If going into it the first time, what would you do different? Are you only doing injection under boost... how are you running you setup?

 

Yeah I did cause a little more work by pulling the radiator, but I didn’t have anyone to help with the bump method, plus I was able to finish 360 welding 2 of the engine cage tubes with it out.

 

Guys at my work helped me get the tensioner dialed.

 

That’s def the cleanest way to do it. nice work

 

i cut my flex pod in half for it to work.

 

y'all see they got the Maggie running on a 3rd gen?

 

lame first video but I saw a couple shops have received a 3rd gen S/C kit.

 

havent setup flex yes but is there a special way to get that thing installed? I assume i may need to pull the steering wheel or something to get it installed.

 

They definitely improved upon the 4.0L design by opening up the intake neck of the blower and giving it a much larger intercooler. Their baseline 308 whp is about what a 2.8" pulley will net on our blowers without a ton of other mods. Interesting to see how high their ceiling is with the larger neck and compressors compared to ours.

 

I am not gonna lie I am super jealous of the bigger compressor and better designed intercooler. And they get a wider belt than we do. I believe 6 rib instead of 5.

 

Honestly glad to see they're improving it. Live and learn.

This is the first time I've raised my eyebrow at anything 3rd gen ... will be interesting to see what kind of potential that thing has.

 

no. its just turn the wheel and screw it in. just be careful not to strip the screws. if it rubs, i mean when, just bend it a little. super easy.

 

Same. HP tuners support should be right around the corner. One would think >400whp is easy.

 

Not gonna lie though, if I was gonna get a 3rd gen I would probably go for the twin snail setup.

 

One of my coworkers had a 3rd gen and is pretty sold on the what OVTune is working on. I hope he ends up getting it so I can check it out in person.

 

Urd intake is going bye bye.
