    You just need the adapter, bigger throttle body, and gasket maker. URD specifies what year/engine code throttle bodies fit (mine was from a Sequoia but Tundra also works), and the coupler is the same one the came with the aFe intake. The coupler fit a bit loosely with the stock throttle body so with the new throttle body it was nice and snug.

    The adapter is what would be the biggest issue for me. I really don't want to give URD any business though so I'd rather source my parts and stuff outside of their store.

    I did the 70mm throttle body about five months ago and I think it’s a good mod, the more mods you have the better it is. Even more so now that the bypass valve is pulled out. I used black high temp gasket maker and have had no issues. I also took the time to match the adapter to the supercharger and to the throttle body. The URD adapter is not perfect and has to be made to fit if you want perfect airflow. It was a pain in the ass. I’m glad I took the time to do it though and would do this mod again. I didn’t notice any turbo lag, just a little bit of a gain through out the entire powerband. I would like to try the 76mm throttle body when I get all the other mods done. Right now I’m at 2.85, afe cold air, 70mm throttle, 255 Walbro, and the bypass mod. Ucon, spec U’s, valve body upgrade, and stock ecu are next.

    Yep for me I want the biggest throttle body possible, but it sort of sounds like a pain in the ass.

    If you don't want URD's 76mm adapter, then you'll have to make your own. Much more convenient to just buy theirs. Unless making your own is truly your desire.

    I plan on using my adapter for a custom intake manifold. Easier to just start with theirs, and have the taper machined out.

    I believe there aren't many options for the Tacoma except those hard to find NST pullies. For my Camaro it's most common to change the crank pulley instead of the supercharger pulley.

    EDIT: Plus for the lower pulley you have to buy a special crank balancer that's $650 plus another $120 for the pulley itself. Messing with the upper pulley is about $175 including the hub adapter and a different size pulley. At least this is for the ZL1 Camero. Haven't seen any fancy crank balancers for the Tacoma.

    Has the same effect. Company that was making those, no longer does. NST. @TRON has one.

    Not enough market. Had to have their water pump pulley, plus their smaller idler pulleys.

    Because that would not be doable without making the idler and tensioner pulleys smaller to compensate for the increase in size of the crank pulley. You would also have to enlarge the water pump pulley as well. It is doable but the cost offsets the benefits.

    You are also looking at now being custom when it comes time down the road to do future work on the drive system and would no longer be able to buy off the shelf stuff from Magnuson or Toyota.
