    I think you will need to update your ECU to get the Magnuson tune to write to your ECU.

    Has anyone had belt alignment issues post supercharger install? I noticed some discoloration on the belt and scoring on one of the pulleys over the weekend. I plan on taking a more detailed look this weekend and it would be helpful to have an idea on what to look for.

    I've had my maggie on for 35k miles now and my belt looks normal without any fray or coloring. I don't know if your discoloring is good or bad, but at least check for cracks and fray. I recently ordered a new belt and upgraded coupler just because of the miles. Actually, the coupler I ordered because I started hearing a little pinging and it came from the SC and would go away when I hit the skinny pedal. I took a short video and sent it to them (superchargers online) as they were referred by magnuson for parts. They confirmed it was the coupler and asked for the mileage to document how long the original coupler lasted. I haven't changed it yet, but no rush.

    I haven't heard of other people having the same issue to be honest, so it could just be me. I was going to go smaller pulley too, but just decided not to mess with anything right now....but just in case anyone is interested to go 87mm pulley using the stock belt works fine (or if you need a replacement belt).
    57-03-06-087-BL is the pulley
    79-06-08-091 is the stock belt

    I had a shop install a magnuson on my 2016, not sure if the water pump was already on its way out, but nonetheless, 70mi into the sc, the water pump totally grenaded. The wobble from the fan cut the lower radiator hose supplied from magnuson. Took it to the shop and had them put a new water pump, radiator, fan and fan shroud in.

    They got it fixed and I picked it up, went 1/2 down the road and it started misfiring. Took it back and they're looking into it. I'm not real impressed or confident in that shop, im thinking they noticed the misfire and check engine lights and tried to hide it, they also didn't help me at all with the cooling system fix which granted, sure. Water pump could've been going out but isn't that something you should look at while it's all apart..? So they didn't work with me on pricing, i paid just over 9k for the sc, and they hit me with another 2k for the cooling system.

    Anyways. Enough ranting. Anyone have any idea what would make it misfire on cyl 6 after all that stated above?

    #6 is the hardest one to get at the passenger back of the engine. i would be tempted to see if they didnt tighten the plug down correctly or something became unconnected

    Really feel for you here! I just had a VT S/C'er put on and while the shop was installing it, they recommended changing out the water pump, a few pulley's, T-stat, belt tensioner, and new serp belt while it was torn down. I wasn't crazy about the additional costs, but I knew I wanted peace of mind, so I had them swap the parts out. Though I also knew I had a ton of miles on my truck, so it made since, as I don't know what the previous owners did or didn't do the prior 200K. Hope you can get everything ironed out with your truck, and you can get back out enjoying it!

    That sounds like a shop who cares about their customer, sure it probably was a bit more, but at least it ran and ran right! Wish the shop i went to suggested that to me

    I am sorry bud you went thru this. So much frustration and spend on stuff like this sours the mod right away. I think Magnuson has several approved dealers in each state that "supposedly" know a bit more than regular shops. Hopefully you can get it resolved. Good luck.

    My personal opinion is that you should buy yourself an odb scanner and check the fault codes. I bet it may be something simple, but it's better to invest $30 bucks into a scanner first. I then would take a closer look inside the bay and look for misconnections. That garage doesn't seem to be entirely on the up and up, so you could be dealing with a loose wire or a loose plug. It's not that difficult for you to get to your driver side plugs as you may think. Just get yourself a ladder, flashlight and blanket and get in there and look for crossed wires, loose plugs, etc..
    If you were nearby, I'm sure any of us would just jump in to help because this is bs for you to have to go through.
    When you're all done and enjoying it, consider putting in a catch can. I'm always surprised by the amount of fluids it catches because that would've gone right back in and coated the fins of the cooling system....degrading it's performance. Food for thought.

    I would do that, but as far as im concerned it should be their problem, not mine. But yes, that would be my next step if they don't shape up. Ill have to check that out thank you!

    I've been given permission to purchase the magnuson supercharger, are there any additional purchases i should make to go with it? Like maybe spark plugs, fuel injectors, etc?
