TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

@mightytacoman use to make and sell an automotive bespoke aluminum swirl pot for this. Because the black plastic would weep/leak. It was larger in capacity, dropped in place but no longer produced.

Someone did use a jegs or Summit one too.

 

@White lightning boosted did a FIGS reservoir. It was spendy but sure was nice!

 

I had a figgs on mine as well. It was nice eye candy.

 

ive had the plastic one since 2011 and its held up

I miss this truck as well as your more regular presence in the 2nd Gen forums, @JuanitoBonito!

 

Good find. That didn't exist back when i was making them.

 

someone on the tundras s/c thread brought it up a while back

Good discussions if you're bored. Very much the same conversations that happen over here. https://www.tundras.com/threads/general-supercharger-thread.85513/

And while you're there, check out the 5.7L Turbo thread. https://www.tundras.com/threads/turbo-charging-a-tundra.115951/

 

I’ll be back soon enough. I coincidentally stopped at the Toyota dealer in the town I was passing through to get a better look at a truck I saw briefly on line. It wont be today or tomorrow, but I will be back.

 

Intake is finished!

 

That’s pretty badass

 

How much would you pay for a used TRD blower without any of the supporting parts?

I saw one pop up for sale, but after adding the cost of other parts up individually and the cost is closing in on a new, complete kit.

 

Under $1000 to make it worth it. If not buy a new one. You would also want to factor in a rebuild.

 

I was in the same boat at one point, and the savings just didn’t add up, unless you get a complete kit, in good condition. And I got mine at the time for $1,000 even. Ended up selling it not long after I did more research.

 

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.

 

Agreed. Finding or puting together the entire fit kit will run a couple grand. I did a mix of custom/OEM fit kit parts on the Tundra I built a few years ago and it was a shy of $3k

 

Where do you guys connect your boost gauges on 2nd gen’s? I installed a AEM boost gauge and it’s only reading Vac.
I threaded the pressure sensor directly the port that connects to the FPR and BOV/Bypass valve

 

On the Magnussen unit, I connected mine to a port directly on the unit located near the rear.

 

I would think anywhere downstream of your pro charger in the intake should read boost… maybe not at idle or lower RPM, but definitely Higher RPM

 

Gauges done, and W/M installed.
