    Yup. The rush to put this out seems like a sham. Put that 6k into AMD and watch your money pile up.

    The old school boost gauge is one of my requirements... not exactly the handiest gauge, but the physical swing of the needle into positive pressure zone while feeling the the acceleration and push back into seat is hard to replace.

    Install coming along nicely.. it's a good moment when the SC is actually on! About 12 hrs in to the install so far and probably another 2 hrs left. Instructions are super clear and I havent had any issues so far. It would go way quicker but I'm doing this in short spurts between doing my normal job.

    I do have a winch and 2nd battery which made a couple things tight but it all worked with moving the LTR pump and being able to use the included hoses.

    Just gotta fill up fluids, flash the tune, clean up some wiring and good to go!

    Just FYI - Magnuson directions have you remove the pulley to install a bracket behind the pulley. So warranty is not impacted by removing the pulley!

    Could be torque verification at the factory instead of marking each bolt.

    I went back and reviewed the previous photos... I think you're right. It's paint to indicate some step of quality control. Bolts are torqued, but "N's" are missing... :rofl:

    That's my kind of QC!

    But then, it seems that Maggy is missing the entire bottom end on the Taco . . . Boom! :bananadead:

    would you say that the supercharger was worth the purchase or if you could do it again would you not have gotten it?

    and the right exhaust definitely helps optimize OVT. i wouldn't mention that if i didn't have experience with it.

    Thats probably just a paint pen. This stuff is real torque marking compound. Forms more of a bead. Highly visible

    But the end result is still the same, they missed a letter in their own name :rofl:
