If you want some mpg/performance gains, check out the URD maf calibrator:

^ make a small change, i understand it changes the mapping a little bit but how big are the gains?

 

I can't speak personally. I've had buddies get it and say it shifts more smoothly and pulls a bit harder, not to mention better gas mileage. Here are a few members who have bought and reviewed it:

Why choose either? Have both: AFE Stage 2 Si with volant air scoop. Remove the mechanical fan and install the electric fan. Frees up horsepower due to the parasite drag. Get custom cams. Add the TRD or URD blower with stealth pulley for more power. Plenty of choices.

Here's what I added so far for my future TRD blower install

 

you already have a cai

 

The mechanical fan is clutched.

Is that still an option, given that the engine has variable valve timing?

 

What exhaust would be the best for our trucks? Everyone likes to run magnaflow up here. Any advice on that?

 

Personal preference on what sounds good to you...

Borla and aero turbine are good to a lot of folks...

 

Waste of money.

 

I see a lot of Tacomas around here, whats yours look like?

 

URD TCAI

imo the only worthwhile CAI ever invented.

 

a muffler swap is your best bet as far as catback
grumpy ran
Headers- $500
URD TCAI-$200
URD Y-Pipe-$450
URD 3" Catback-$500
UCON-$1500
and picked up about 40 horsepower on his naturally aspirated setup
long tube headers and a muffler swap will open things up a little more maybe 10 hrspwer

 

White with a front light bar with 7" Hellas, aftermarket wheels and that's about it.

 

What kind of gains did you get out of that.

 

I dont have one. im a first gen and its only for second gens. Yall have more room to stick the filter in there. I know there are a few people here that have it. My friend who has it talked like it was the best thing ever.

 

What I love are the ones who do redo their intake plumbing, tell you how it is the best thing ever at every opportunity, and then switch back to stock 6 months later. It's like, you weren't trying to convince me, you were trying to convince you

 

NOT for off road.

 

I'll wave if I see ya.
