OVTune 3.5L Tacoma Supercharger and Twin Turbo Systems

Thanks Red! I appreciate it, as always. You got lots of good knowledge!

 

Ok Ralphie

 

No problem Brother.

I may possibly have missed the bill on some of my input about these particular parts but from my past dealings with turbos what I said holds true.

On a side note... The intercooler Matt chose to use is a jam up part as well. I used the same part number on my last big single 7mgte build.

 

I wonder if there is room for a TMIC for the Sport hood, just feeling nostalgic for my old Turbo Subarus...lmao

 

Sorry, i dont know the lingo yet. Whats TMIC? Something with Intercooler im supposing.

 

Top mount

 

Top Mount Intercooler

 

Top mounted intercooler

 

Oh, word! Now I know the lingo! thanks Meso and others

 

That intercooler is sweet. Better than what i used before in my BT ms3 setup. Only used a TR8 for that

 

You don't want a TMIC anyway. Unless you like heat soak lol

 

Airflow over the sport hood is pretty minimal.

 

So is visibility a lot of the time too! hahaha

 

Yeah, I would guess that fuel economy and all, it's irrelevant, I have an OR anyways. Just think though, the TRD Sport and Pro owners would have a reason for the skewp!!! lol

 

You mean besides looking badass.

 

I saw a vid by TFL Truck years ago when they were first covering the Pro and they had a toyota tech/rep with them who stated that after testing, it was concluded that better mpg was seen with the fake scoop vs a functional one.

Now, where boosting your n/a vehicle is concerned, it should be all about smiles per gallon. MPG shouldn't be a concern, only a nice bonus. But that being said, lots of people care over much about mpg and there will undoubtedly be those who go TT and then whine about their mileage while lead-footing the truck, SO, maybe that tidbit of info will make them feel better about the fake scoop lol

 

OMG you people are hard to please lol. Buying a TT kit for MPG LOL. If my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle. If you're buying a TT kit for MPG your priorities are in the wrong spot.


Hey Mat, I want a TT kit that sounds like a supercharger and makes my truck look like a raptor. If you can't deliver on this you're terrible. Oh and if the stock ECU can't beatbox while I drive I won't buy it for the mint 500 race.

 

True, but after thinking more about it, wouldn't it make it a lot better for offroading, and prevent any interference with winch and/or bumper options?

 

I also post just to post... gotta pump them numbers up

 

Feels like its similar for those who regear to 4.88's and get larger tires. My MPGs actually went up after i stopped drag racing off the line
