    OK, just kidding.
    I didn't really get on it too much on the way home and haven't driven it a lot since. I am boing for a run in a little while and changed the TRD filter that came with the kit back to the AFE washable (non-oiled) filter. I was a little surprised that it wasn't as much of an ass kicker as I thought it would be.
    I asked the mechanic how it drove when he took it for a test drive and he said the same, that he wasn't super impressed. He said it could take the ECU a while to self adjust. Could also be that I am running larger tires and a 3" lift?
    Anyway, I think it is too soon t give REAL feedback other than initial response. I will keep posting updates though.

    Stomp on it from a stop with VSC turned off. If it isn't burning your tires (actually tire* one-tire-fire ftl) all the way through 1st and 2nd it seems you have a problem.

    When mine was installed I had larger tires as well, and it was a huge difference.

    I did take it for a spin a while ago, before I read these last few posts. I think that AWF ROWD is right, the disgronficator switch was probably installed backwards. I heard that if that happens it can trash the emalgomator valve as well:)
    Anyway I was going about 15 or 2o mph an stepped on it. MAN! that baby was up to sixty like right NOW! I haven't stepped on it off the line yet, but will try that next. Don't want to have too much fun at once:)
    I have been emailing Gadget at URD to see what he recommends to boost up the power and he suggested a CAI, then the Fuel Pump upgrade and then the stealth pulley Just more stuff to add to the "Wish List". Somehow, even though I am broke, I just get the feeling I haven't spent enough money on her yet...

    don't forget the URD LT, Y-pipe, and maf calibrator ;)


    OH did I mention losing the mechanical fan too? Switch to a Electric fan, free up even more horsepower :D

    I can keep on going :)

    Yeah, that's the ticket! was also thinking of installing electric fans too (someday when I have money again :) ), that will be down the road a bit though.
    BTW One of the mechanics I was talking to said that Toyota makes a special Taco for Mexico. Apparently it comes with an electric fan assembly and no pulley driven fan. The reason being that there is not enough air through the cooling elements (radiator, etc.). He said that it improves the AC performance drastically, and you can order the parts from Toyota for the mod. I don't think that there will be enough rom for that install with the SC though (the trans oil co0ler and SC cooler get in he way.
    Thanks again guys.

    Yes, I sold my '13 Taco. :'(
    I wouldnt recommend doing ANYTHING that increases your boost on the supercharger until you get the pump done first, but that's just me....that is going to tax your stock FP even more.

    Was it pretty simple to install? I know you have to drop the tank and have it as close to empty as possible. 1 or 2 man job and time to complete?

    Fuel pump first, like Still Will said.

    Less than 5 gallons will make it really easy. 2 is easier than one, but 1 can still do it.

    Gotcha, thanks guys. Looks like the fuel pump is first (when I get some money)...

    Alms, Alms for the Super Charger Owner...

    OK, so Fuel Pump kit, CAI and then URD pulley. Got it.
    Thanks again guys,

    I doubt it. If I had to take the truck into the dealership for warranty work, I would put the stock pulley back on.

    they wouldnt even know most likely.. its called a "stealth" pulley for a reason. You would never know mine has one.

    The Fuel pump isnt too bad. Myself and another member swapped mine out in a couple hours.

    Edit: damn you Doc. lol
