just bought her, wanna boost peformance

so i just bought my new baby, a 06 prerunner trd doublecab longbed automatic, and i wanna do some peformance upgrades. i know about the k&n cold air intake which im about to buy, but besides that what is there? i heared some talk about chips but ive also heared they dont do alot. anyone have a good one?

 

Remove the secondary airfilter in the cheap free mods section. It is a sticky. Welcome to TW.

 

Chips are a waste of money IMO. they can really screw up your trucks computer. I would just go with a MAF kit from URD. those actually help. Other than that, i would buy some good headers and ,maybe an exhaust.

Dont forget turbo or SC.

 

oh yeah S/C or turbo will do. as well

 

I personally wouldn't use an oiled filter like the K&N but that's just me. I/H/E is usually the best way to start

 

+1, yeah I would stay away from K and N, even though I have a trd cai that uses oiled filter I would suggest you look into AFE/Trueflow/URD for your intake. Check out some Doug Thorley headers and then work on your exhaust. After that Get the URD MAF calibrator that will bring all your performance upgrades together. Other than that get boosted!

 

Just get the supercharger and be done with it. It's tough to beat that much Toyota warrantied power.

 

^A very good point but you're talking a lot of money to most folks (like me with a newborn). You can do I/H/E for less than a thousand if you get creative.

 

afe/trd intake i like both

 

so what exactly is the maf by urd thing? an does anyone know a good muffler i could use with headers that would sound good but not too noisy? and also, is the the second air filter in the glove box? do i just take it out or should i do somethin after? and by the way i do appreciate yalls responses it helps alot.

 

here is a link to a lot of cool cheap/ free mods. # 26 is for removing the second air filter.

Good luck!

 

Does that secondary air filter removal reallly do all that much difference..?

 

I noticed an instant improvement, and for about 2 minutes work. Its a charcoal filter that removes fumes coming out of the inner engine after shutdown

 

and with the four cyl. let me just say GOOD Gawd. that thing gets up and goes now. Afe pro dry s drop in ALL THE WAY

 

Woah, thats supprising! I'm yanking that tomorrow morning! That, and a few free mods toooo!

 

If you got with a CAI kit, the secondary air filter will get ditched as part of the parts you toss when installing the kit.

Can't go wrong with the TRD CAI and TRD exhaust. As for headers, Doug Thorley long tubes, 02 sensor syms from URD as well as MAF controller from URD. Most bang for your buck with those mods.
