    The fit kit parts are outrageously rare, even more so than the blower itself. There’s a guy in Washington on the Tundra forum that took it upon himself to get some of the parts fabricated to sell complete kits though. It uses an Eaton M90…that’s all I know. Manufactured around the same time as the older blowers like the 3.4. Maybe magnuson?

    Ya I just did a quick search and no fit kits coming up for the 4.7L. for the 5.7L the fit kits run between $2400-2800 through Toyota dealerships where you can find them, but plenty still around. Superchargers online quoted me a ridiculous price of $4195 + shipping (+tax for my state too probably) just for the fit kit

    Ah yes, the awesome PDR. I have yet to use mine but they are pretty awesome indeed. Currently getting my exhaust worked on as I sit here and write this.

    All your searches will lead back to James on tundra solutions. Maybe even some about my Lexus. Is someone here trying to do a 4.7 swap?

    Indeed! I see/hear a lot of guys say they never use theirs, but I love mine. IMO, it's a must-have option.
    You need to stop working on your LT4 long enough to enjoy it! :cheers:

    I was joking with my buddies I’ll snag it for my imaginary GX. I also think it’s only for the non vvti 4.7 as well so even more limited which is prob why they stopped it

    It bolts up to the VVTI engines too

    1UZ, Elate turbo manifolds, and their Holley plenum adapter would be the route I’d go
