    Yes
    Does your 2015 TRD Pro have a traditional booster and master ? I thought the newer TRD models had the full electronic system ?

    Yes, it makes a big difference because the booster is a dual diaphragm design so it is much stronger.

    oh man I literally live like 20 min away from you. Located over by mission trails. Any chance I can meet up to talk to you about the brake booster upgrade? Mine is leaking and I will need to replace it soon, but this seems like a better upgrade

    So, can confirm that this will 100% not work with 16" rims.

    Completed the mod MC and brake booster mod, ground down the top and bottom of the new calipers so the 16" rim would JUST clear it, bled the system, thought I was good to go. First big pump on the brake using my hand and the internals from one of calipers perforated through the wall. Welp... that was a $150 mistake. Thankfully it happened in my garage, rather than on the road. In hindsight, I think I should have been a bit more reticent to grind down the calipers.

    Went back to my original rotors/calipers, bled the system again, took it for a test drive, night and day difference. Besides tuning and putting on LT headers, this is definitely my favorite mod on the truck. Huge shout out to @DG92071 for pioneering this. Solid.

    Is it necessary swap the booster with tundra one as I saw at SOS performance website they only recommend swap MC only.
    Is it tundra really a lot bigger then tacoma?

    Yes
    just swapping the Tudra booster alone is a huge upgrade. Your Tacoma booster is only a single diaphragm and the Tundra booster is a dual diaphragm

    The brakes on my 06 Tacoma suck. I've had all major components replaced and new pads. Still braking is very weak. Any ideas out there?

    1. Bleed them...bleed them good.
    2. Stop tech 6 piston caliper upgrade with 340mm rotors.
    3. Tundra booster upgrade.

    Thank you!

    It's a night and day difference.

    Replaced with stock Tacoma parts or the Tundra upgrade parts?

    Do you live in Scripps Ranch?
