TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

It's totally doable that way.

 

Yes, Roostfactor helped me install URD spec u headers with the front wheels on ramps. Should be totally doable. Mine is lowered too, so theres even less room

 

Yeah. Easier if you have an engine lift.

 

Taco csf w/no issues.

 

Drop steering shaft and some exhaust studs will make it an easy job.

 

I wrapped the URD headers in papers bags that I cut into into long spriral. Avoided any scratches while positioning, easy to remove once in place. I did not have to remove any studs but it would make it easier. Have to take extra precautions in the midwest salt planes. Did not want to have to extract broken studs. Would recommend removing front tires, have to come from below and the sides. Also recommend flex head ratcheting wrenches.

 

Did you have to lift engine?

 

I’d think it would be even easier to take the wheels off (after putting the front axle n jack standa) so you can get at it from the sides as well

 

Promised pics of exhaust.
URD header and y pipe, 3" flex connector to 3" vibrant resonator, then a braided flex to Magnaflow cat to 22" magnaflow, and 45 degree angled out 45 degrees just past the axle. May swap out for 24" magnaflow. Little loud, not much drone.
I haven't found an ideal 3" donut gasket for the flex coupler. Have one more to try.

*Wrong order, fixed.

 

None

 

You don’t have to.

 

The ARP stainless studs, or the Titanium ones that @Lucario Runner posted, are perfect for preventing rust. Especially if you're getting in there.

ARP also sells a thread chaser, ( which is a must if installing aftermarket studs) to open the threads up a few thousandths. To a proper M8x1.25

 

Who sells this arp kit for our truck

 

No

 

Thanks gents. I'll see if I can tackle this tomorrow!

 

Thanks for the heads up about the thread chaser

i hear you on the cold and wet. no fun. my most recent mod was.....well, vaccum interior.

 

That's a bold strategy Cotten, let's see if it pays off for him.


I did mine on a lift. Made life so much easier. When you have your entire arm up in the guts of the truck from below, being able to stand vs lay on your back helps loads.

 

I purchased the kit from Summit Racing, on backorder till 05March
