Adding Supercharger feedback

Got a 15. 165k. Friend has a mag s/c he wants to part with. New opened box. Both if us in socal.

Wanted to see who has added it and feedback they have. Couple videos on YouTube but they are a few years old.

Thanks in advance.

 

You’ll find a lot of good info in the Magnuson SC thread
https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/trd-magnuson-4-0-supercharger-tips-tricks-and-mods.518932/

 

Saw that after I submitted. The search function is a pita.

 

I have to say, I’ve been on TW for a good while now.
I have pretty good idea of what floating around on here.

 

Plus lots of pages that seem like maintenance. But good info.

 

I personally find them underwhelming, unless you do the aftermarket support of tune and injectors. The bolt on supercharger just doesnt give enough pep for the $.

If you do decide to buy it, make sure to buy a spare belt and replace the spark plugs to ones specified for the SC.

You'll find good info in the supercharger thread, but it will be owner biased. I am a tech at Toyota so neutral.

They are a reliable mod though, the tunrdas had issues blowing up, but we havent seen a supercharger tacoma die yet.

 

At a minimum def need to do some of the easy mods in the s/c thread, get a smaller pulley, and then get tuned. @JustDSM tuned my engine/transmission and did a great job, really made a difference. I've driven a few that just had the supercharger and stock s/c tune and it wasn't the same. Mine has headers, still has the cats, and I think a 2.85 pulley from URD. Even with 33's and stock gearing it pulls fairly hard. The tuning from @JustDSM was crucial because he fixed all the shifting points.

 

2.8 pulley is the key to maximizing the potential of the supercharger, do it OP.

 

Good points. Trying to find a good installer. Plus take care of some listed in the write up.

 

Install is actually not bad. Fuel pump is a pita but that's just because you have to drop the tank and the factory uses many ugga duggas on the tank cap. I did mine in a weekend.
