    Should work

    The bunches I've made for 1st Gen Tacoma's have been test fitted and later installed on various 2nd Gens

    Here's one shown on a 2nd Gen bed

    Maaan, can't wait until my tank is cycled

    Literally counting down when I can finally get some damn tetras and most likely a gourami (honey or dwarf)

    Ooooh yeah, in fact I'm not able to consistently get 10 gauge anymore so I'm using my main new steel supplier now for 95% of my stuff from now on

    All my 10 gauge dinos? Switched to 11 gauge and I can get that whenever

    The Amazon set is hard to beat though for the price being bent already and including hardware

    Yeah looking at it more I think I’ll have to cut a tab off the Amazon ones, that’s the only difference I’m seeing. Good excuse to finally get a grinder

    As with any performance mods I'd imagine it would stack to a better flowing engine somewhat, but might run out of steam up top. I see why it's for sale now though, must be a little small for a 3.5. I'm gonna confess I don't know how the small blower market even stays afloat in the age of cheap turbos. The big xV71 blowers I understand in the context of large engines that already make torque down low, but these small ones often seem to choke early and be a huge parasitic draw for these smaller engines.

    You think of it in terms of $ per hp. But that's not the full equation for folks. For some applications, a boost of power, in the mid range is the goal, but the kicker is the simplicity of a supercharger being a standalone piece that bolts right on. It's easy. A turbo would certainly have more headroom but is more complicated, it involves modifications to the exhaust, intake, where to put the turbo, blow off valves, waste gates, oiling, intercooler, etc. that is a lot of problems to sort out where a supercharger, in my case, was bolt on and go. So there's a market for easy power, not just big power.
