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

Anyone here have the URD Y pipe and see any improvements?

 

I live in Los Angeles, i can be your warm weather tester if you still need one

 

We currently have someone in Hawaii but I appreciate the offer and will keep you in mind if we need another. Thank you!

 

I have it. I don’t know if there is any difference. I would have to do another Dyno run. Before the Y pipe I had 308 to the wheels. Peak probably isn’t different but I’d bet there might be some more ponies somewhere else in the powerband.

 

It’s a 9 WTQ gain down low 2-3200 rpm before the torque dip associated with ACIS. This is noticeable driving around town. The peak WHP gain was only 5 but the torque you definitely feel. This was on OV tune 2.0. Y pipe was installed and run same day as baseline dyno. Prob a bit more gain with supercharger.

 

I'm installing a 90° fitting on the back of the upper intake for a boost gauge later.
Can anyone comment on the orientation of the fitting?
I'm assuming it would be best at 45° like the attached picture to get between a casting tab and the mounting hole?

 

Definitely Chinese… Nah nah just joking!

That looks correct. You want to try get the straight 1/8 NPT male to 3/16 hose barb in before install.

 

So 3/16" ID tubing is pretty standard on boost gauges?
I'm still waiting on mine.

 

I think most boost gauges should have tubing that fits 3/16

 

Now that I think about it, maybe it would be best to rotate that fitting 90 degrees and take it out the passenger side?

The picture shows the tubing running behind the SC.

 

Yes, I installed mine 90 degrees clockwise from that. Makes it easy to get to.

 

I turned mine after that tab.

 

One step further.
LOL

 

Is the the restrictor everyone is removing?
This thing is NOT coming out, even grabbing it with needle nose pliers.
I’m afraid I’m gonna break off the plastic port.

 

Yes, that is it. I grabbed mine with small needle nose vise grips and twisted it out. Looks like there was some bonding agent on there holding it in place that you need to break loose.

 

Ya, mine must’ve had more bonding agent cause it won’t come out, even with a heat gun. I break that port and I’m dead in the water! LOL

 

Hold the plastic with a pair of pliers and grab the restrictor with pliers. Twist the brass restrictor while holding the plastic.

 

Are you really planning on adding all of that? It looks like unnecessary unsupported weight.

 

WOT sucks with the Magnuson tune even with trac control off, 2-3 shift always gives me a long hang before it decides to shift and even starts to decelerate before shifting up, anyone else notice this?

 

Is it better in S mode (manually shifting the automatic?)
