Magnuson Supercharger Mega Thread for 16+ Tacoma - Unboxing, Install DIY, Dyno Video

Did you order it from magnuson? If so how long did it take from time of purchase to receive.

 

I ordered from TPS Motorsports (www.tpsmotorsports.com), per lead from @Doostur (see post 970).

Ordered supercharger on Thursday and received on Friday. One day total (about 30 hours) after purchase to receive order. It was the last supercharger they had in stock as of Thursday.

 

How's the install going? Started yet? Gonna send you a PM. Mine won't arrive until Wednesday

 

It is super smokey at my house (dangerous levels) so I haven’t started the install. I live near the Caldor fire. I plan to wait until the air is cleaner. I inspected the kit this morning in my garage wearing an N95 mask and could smell smoke. Kit looks awesome!

 

If you run into anything worth sharing please keep me in mind. I'll probably start on Friday with the mechanical install. I'll probably start doing the software thing immediately. Whatever that entails.

 

Will do. I did read through the directions. Seems pretty straight forward.

 

So how is the magnuson tune? I hear it's on version 7. Anyone have latest tune before/after dyno. Any major complaints?

 

Can someone tell me how much coolant is needed after install? I know normally its around 2 gallons.

 

2.3 gallons for a full fill up. Since you are in Florida, mix it 60/40 or even 70/30 in favor of water, same for the intercooler coolant.

 

Excellent. I'll buy 2 gallons of 50/50 mix and top the rest off with distilled water. Should be close enough. Thanks for the quick reply. Time to take advantage of some of these labor day deals lol!

 

What boost gauge setups have some of you guys gone with?

 

I installed the supercharger last weekend and couldn't be happier.


I bought a Speedhut Revolution gauge. Speedhut staff were great to work with on customizing the gauge.

Placed a 90 deg elbow out the back of the upper intake manifold as recommended and connected pressure sensor directly to elbow..

Got a custom wiring harness from kmorgan3 for the boost gauge install as well. He was also great to work with.

 

@Tuscany5932 very nice. thanks for the info.

 

How did you make out w the warranty?

 

More fuel numbers for the people that always want to know. Made a 300 mile trip loaded with camp gear up and over a 12,000 pass and averaged 21.2mpg there and 21.3mpg back. I did 150 miles off-road in and out of 4HI and 4 LO and averaged 12.1mpg for that.

 

They sent me a new cap, no questions asked. I'll have to remember to look at it tomorrow to make sure it still isn't overflowing.

 

Is anyone on this thread following the Fuel Pump and Controller that was being co-developed with the TT setup?

 

Interesting shift in discussion to fuel pump. I've stalled out twice now and it's definitely my fuel pump.....just not on the recall list yet.

 

We are very close to max performance on the stock fuel system even when its working correctly. For me the thought of adding a slightly smaller pulley would be great but not without a little more headroom with the fuel and provided tuning is available.

 

like it has been said.....coming SOOOOOOOOON.
