TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Stupid question, add says 12-15. Will this work on my 09?
Thanks

 

Pretty positive it will. I've already emailed them to change the year applicability.

 

It should as it’s the same motor and drivetrain

 

Just ordered my HPS hoses. I also picked up a brand new URD stage 2 clutch with arp bolts,tob, and hd flywheel. Found a guy that had it on marketplace brand new.

 

Looks like my economy shipping is coming UPS which is great! Ordered last night shipped today. I will give it to them fast shipping.

 

smae here. i ordered last night and got a shipping notice at about 9am. i just went with the radiator hoses for now. i sure they will sit in my garages for months before i get to them. lol.

 

Mine is coming usps

 

That so cal special God Speed...

For Trans cooler setups how much benefit would getting a setup with fan be? For now looking at the Derale setups but also if its worth adding one of the combo cooler + fan or just the stracked row versions.

 

The only thing holding me back from going HPS is that supposedly silicone hoses burst where as standard rubber slowly degrades over time. For my daily driver I'm not sure if I want to roll that dice.

 

I’m sure they’ll be fine. The word would be plenty out by now if these were bad.

 

They'll be fine. They are more reinforced than the OEM rubber ones as well.

 

Hey fellas I’ll be joining the SC crew soon. I’m not doing the install, having two little girls makes finding time like that tough, @Murphinator has been huge in helping me with all my questions, but have one more. Here’s a shot of my engine, the aux panel is where the reservoir is going to go.


I found this pic in the forums


But I don’t know how easy it would be to move the reservoir or if I should just move my panel. Super charg rook here, so any info would help.

 

If you slot the mounting holes on your panel and rearrange your wiring a little, you may be able to shift the panel closer to the fuse box. Doing that may provide enough room for the coolant reservoir.

Sorry to throw another wrench in there, but you might want to consider installing a catch can with your supercharger. And if you do install a catch can, you'll probably want to find underhood space for it too.

 

Get a Catch Can now, its a pain to connect hoses with Popeye arms...

 

Thanks for the info guys. All notes down.

 

I had the same problem, we cut the mounts off the I/C and turned around, mounted the tank on the pass side fender instead

 

I will see if I can get a pic of my engine bay, I have my res with the mount pointed down and it just kinda sitting in there. Been meaning to mount it for 6 years now. No issues so it just gets put off.

 

Cool thanks dude.

yea I’ve read that a couple places, but to be honest don’t really know what that means yet as I haven’t seen how it mounts. All good haha

 

The intercooler mounts using the ac condenser supports. It's sandwiched behind the hood/latch frame and in front of the condenser. Instead of cutting the mounts, I think it was easier to flip the intercooler water pump up front 180°. You'll see when you get there. That will allow you access the lines to route the reservoir on the passenger side. Here's a picture of how magnuson recommends it set up

 

I pulled mine and haven’t have a chance to reinstall it. as other noted very limited on space. I also have my catch can I need to install. There’s no room for electronics so a bit of a bind on that for me. I need to hook up switch Pros, fuse block and a few other items.
