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

Yes, that is the port.

 

I went to Home Depot and autozone and could not find the fitting

 

What oil are people using after the SC install?

 

The factory recommended oil is more than capable of still doing it's job with a measley 8psi of boost.

Hell I still run factory recommended oil in my turbo first gen and it's got over double the stock power to the wheels and 22psi of boost.

 

That was my thought. However, I’ve been reading a lot of mix feelings about what to use specifically for a Supercharged truck. I might stick with factory specs if no one else has a better argument on why ai should do something else.

 

Ideally, we should gather oil temperature data to find out where the SC engine is running, then choose the appropriate viscosity. That being said, I'll likely run a 0W30 or 5W30.

 

Scroll back to page 76. I posted everything you need for the Revel boost gauge including fittings. The fittings are on Amazon.

I just use the Mobile 1 0W20 syn - and change every 5K, and check/drain catch can every month btwn change. No problems. Yes I could go a few more miles between changes but simply don't.

 

Thanks bro I found it online.

@SatlyPartiot408 Just an FYI, some have complained that they were challenged by the 90 elbow, with getting the threads tightly sealed when having it pointed in the necessary direction. (when it is not tight enough, the only option is a full 360 deg turn, which can be over tight or impossible) Using a female 90 elbow, with a close nipple (or shoulder nipple) to the Maggie, allows for getting tight threads AND having it point where desired. This is an old plumbers trick, when dealing with threaded fittings, as for a 360 deg rotation, each end of the nipple only needs to tighten by 180 degrees. I found these elbows and nipples from Amazon also.

EDIT: On the 3rd gen Tacoma, the housed wire bundle is very close to this tap-point, and I found that there is not enough room for the above mentioned Nipple and Elbow!!! I had to run and find a street 90 deg elbow, as suggested by Maggy!

Hope this did not trip up anyone.

 

Can anyone tell me where someone can find their MasterKey from Magnuson for the SC software?

 

Master keys are no longer a thing

 

I know but if you could kindly point a person to where one could find it. Was it a physical number or sent electronically?

 

It was an email

 

is it the .vft file? thats all that I see was sent to me via email from Magnuson

 

No, it would have been typed out into the email.

And then you copy\paste it into the vftuner software to activate the license.

 

It’s just a long string of characters. That’s been replaced by registration of the adapter serial number.

 

Anyone else having an issue with the Magnuson tune (for 5.29 gears) banging on the rev limiter (fuel cutoff)? When I go WOT it hits the limiter, hangs for a couple seconds, changes gears and does it again at the top of the next gear. It seems to do it in at least 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears. It is extremely annoying, at WOT it pulls great but when it hits the limiter it lunges forward very suddenly.

 

yes. everyone. the Maggie tune sucks.
go here if you've not already:

I can't speak to its awesomeness yet since I haven't been able to flash yet but I am super pumped to try the Yotawerx tune with the Maggy blower.
