OVTune 3.5L Tacoma Supercharger and Twin Turbo Systems

I got mine beginning of December... plan on moving fast with it as well. Hopefully soon since I have some time off from work still

 

At least y’all got a tracking number. But hard to say what’s worst, getting a tracking number and not seeing it update or not getting one at all.

 

Same. I got a tracking number at the end of November but nothing sent quite yet.

 

The suspense is killing me. Post an in-truck or drive by blast video please! Give us hope (we can live with the vibration sound). I would think you would have posted at least a couple of videos by now assuming you are stoked.

 

I will put something together this weekend. I plan to have everything done this weekend. Unfortunately my truck has been driven less than 100 miles since the install. With work and holidays and on call and side projects it hasn't really been getting my full attention.

 

Is the small diameter hose in this picture where I should be tapping a boost gauge in?

 

That's a fuel line.

 

no way that is fuel line.


on page 8 of turbo install instructions it shows the hose. I emailed you

 

Yah thanks, I thought you said there was a small line coming off the back of the intake that a 1/8” tee would fit on, that’s the smallest line I could see and didn’t pay attention to/from it was coming from.

 

Which boost gauge and mounting location are you going to use?

 

I went with this one, ran it by OV prior to buying. I’m going to tap it in where Meso had his vacuum block on his truck, pic attached, but use a 3/8” 3/8” 1/8” tee. I’m just going to sit the gauge up somewhere to help with the tuning process, then remove.

 

Can someone compile a comprehensive list of everything additional that is needed for install

 

A list like this won't be applicable to full kits. Many people received different things depending on what they ordered.

 

@OVTune are you planning on changing anything/revising anything between the first 25 kits, and the next generation of kits? Maybe the drivers side downpipe where many are getting contact with the steering shaft?

Also, beating a dead horse but any idea when you may be releasing kits again?

 

yes a few things are being revised.
No ETA yet sorry.

The issue with the downpipes is not the design, it looks like the issue is the purpose made dent in the downpipes is not big enough.

 

Please don’t delay my order shipment to fix the downpipe! I’ll take care of the fix, if it needs it.

 

Heard that. Same here.

Heat blankets, heat wrap?

 

After my last post I have another person offering to sell me their complete kit, at what they paid.

Question for all of you that have kits installed:
What issues are you seeing on install with a complete standard kit (powermax)? I know some guys did some custom stuff with their kits...

-I saw some downpipe vs steering shaft issues. What needs to be done to fix this? Cut DP and re-weld deeper notch?

-I remember there being an issue with passenger side turbo clearance off the shock tower, OVtune stated clocking the turbo would remedy this. Anyone have further issues there?

-Drivers side intercooler piping interfering with oil fill spout. I don't remember seeing a remedy or fix for this...

-Missing fitting for vac line? Didn't a few people need to buy a new T fitting to connect a vac line that was left un-connected?

-What was your install time like? OVT said about a full weekend, but everyone that I can remember following took a week if not weeks.

Anything else?
I'm dead set on getting a kit, just trying to decide if I should wait it out for "Gen 2" that might get rid of some of these hickups.
