TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

I had my Y pipe modified to match the Spec U's

 

It's still a tight fit with my steering intermittently rubbing my exhaust wrap. But I got the headers used for a good deal.

 

In loudness lol. I already had so many mods done I don't remember if there was a noticable power gain. And I didn't have any gauges for the s/c setup either. But I still feel it's worth it to flow air more freely

 

So I got the DTLT here, ready to install. With my stock manifolds I have my wideband bung right around the upstream 02, since these are LT, im thinking of putting the wideband in the collector, where the downstream would've been.

Is this a good idea? Measuring all 3 cylinders instead of putting a bung randomly on 1 tube?

 

That's where I had it. I remember reading somewhere that was desired. But then most of the Tundra guys with LT's put it on one tube

 

Why not at merge and get all 6? If you're not looking to run 2 wide bands- might better read em all

 

Still have stock y pipe

 

Gotta take the stock ypipe and cats out to really appreciate those DTLTs.

 

One 1000$ purchase at a time

 

It stank so bad when I did that!

 

Get some HiFlows.

 

Just gut the cats and put your wideband in the old post-rear cat bung

 

Sound freaking great at idle, nice Japanese performance burble, free revved its a little soda can sounding, but under load/boost its not horrible. Can 100% feel a difference in mid range and upper rpms. Lost a psi of boost but just sounds and feels like engine is able to breathe.

I would buy the recent market leading equal length Y pipe if I could try it first. I cant justify spending 1500 just for HOPEFULLY sounding better.

Tbh there aren't even any good sound clips of that pipe yet.

 

Has anyone been able to replace their alternator without removing the SC belt pulleys and everything?

Specifically I'm trying to get the last bolt off (circled in red) and haven't had any luck. It feels like it might be backing out against one of the SC idlers, I think. Anyone have any tips or tricks?

 

I had all of that removed when I did the alternator. Did you already remove the A/C condenser? I let mine hang nearby while I removed the alternator but I also pulled the pulleys off. I thought the compressor was in the way of one of the bolts or shared one.

The idlers will slide off you may not need to pull the studs but I think you're gonna have to remove some of that assembly to get in there.

 

Don't waste your time man... last week I just take my alternator to change the pulley and you have to remove sc belt pulleys and everything and it's a lot faster.

 

I was able to remove the alternator without removing the SC belt or pulleys. Took some creative use of wobble extensions and flex head wrenches.

 

Quick question, when installing the URD QuickChange pulley, do I need to put the black piece in the oven in order to make the install easier?
