TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Did the clamp come loose and do that ?! It was it some how positioned in a wrong orientation ?!

 

just the fucking clamp tangs making contact. i would have never known. the divit is almost 1/8" deep. emotional damage was the s/c hose blemishing the paint. this i call a big pile of fuck.

 

nothing was loose. just how the factory heater hose pinch clamps were. its a tight fit but dammit.

 

other upgrades- new belt today. ripp coils even give the truck a spicy exhaust note. impressed so far. swaping rear axle lift blocks was a 4hr pita. driveline angles to be re-checked soon. no vibes now and very pleased.

 

honestly its wrong orientation, placement too. it just never got my attention. reason im trying to warn others.

 

Glad I saw this before I installed mine.

 

please install yours. it was untouched factory stuff that did this. aftermarket with attention to detail would be an improvement.

 

^^^^Yup

 

Heads up guys, ARP exhaust studs for sale and other goodies!!

Anyone running this. If so what are your thoughts and experience with it debating on picking up this setup

 

I have one, it works great. I’m not a fan of the 3d printed arms. I am looking to make a custom shroud for the fan soon because it has chewed through pretty far on two of those supports.

 

Bump for this - I'd be interested in it as well... desert trips and all that my truck sees.

 

Finally boys.

 

On a similar note, has anyone added reverse style hood louvers? Been thinking about a center louver for a while

 

@Amo-cat3 has one for sale.

 

I think Kel did it and did it quite well.

Is that for exhausting? If so I have. Not in the middle though. Since our headers are on the sides.

 

It's for greater heat dissipation, which would be especially helpful for us given the scorching hot thermal conductor of a supercharger under our hoods.

 

I'm so happy that HPTuners is finally recognizing and supporting the import market which is our trucks. Rightfully so because the way these are setup they are more like American trucks.

 

Whaaaat! Here I sold the Tacoma and got a Tundra and was thinking “I don’t need more performance out of my 5.7l - now HPTuners wants to dig me another rabbit hole”! Aah, here we go LOL!
