TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Wow awesome thread so much info to wrap my head around ...gonna make my blower whistle

 

I do but they're ore 2012

 

The 12-15’s are the same correct? All with the injection tubes?

 

Yes

 

How many miles?

 

I also have a set with 75k miles. 25k of which was boosted

 

Prob like 70xxx. But the studs are removed at the y pipe connection.

 

Trying to find some low mileage ones or maybe just buy news ones from Toyota

 

If you want to buy some new ones from Toyota direct then you might as well prepare to drop your trousers. At least make sure you provide them the Vaseline because they'll clean you out correct with their pricing.

 

They are only $800 for a set

 

That's a lot better than last I looked. I'm still deciding what I want to do about this same issue.

 

Wow, that's better than it used to be. They used to be $2500 a set.

 

I’ve seen them on a couple Toyota sites for 400 and just under. Only thing is that it states 09-15. So if I hypothetically bought them, I’d have to make sure they have the injection tube. I’ve been told the 05-11’s won’t fit. My initial idea was that if I’d yank out the sai I wouldn’t have to bother with using the plates on the tubes because I’d have a set of manifolds without the tubes. However, I was told by someone that the manifolds are indeed different.

 

$800 for two of them? That's actually a lot better than I was thinking. Put your lube away for now.

 

Dang man, I sold mine for like $200...

 

Ok, I've been seeing this air straightener over on the Tundra s/c thread. Never heard of it myself. Thoughts? @JustDSM or @12TRDTacoma

Needed over a certain VE.

 

I'm guessing that's the same reason the Tundra s/c requires a larger diameter intake tube, even Toyota provides one. Stock is 3.5", TRD s/c is 4". Guess the MAF maxes out easier

 

Even if you yank out and electronically disable SAI, the heads are still different on 12-15. I don’t know if using the 05-11 exhaust manifold gasket would be the ticket to blocking the holes in the heads…

 

Yeah this is true. A lot of us run different intakes on here and we have not had an issue with needing one as of yet that includes me. That's not to say you wouldn't, however. I wouldn't worry about it for the time being, but I wouldn't be giving you good advice unless I asked how much power you are making?
