TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

Oooo. RIP mod. Sounds like an 80's punk band.

 

I did all that and my truck actually seems new again.

 

Does anyone know the Allen size to adjust the bypass valve?

 

Not offhand. It is a small one though.

 

I figure if I can change my plugs with it on I got this handled.

 

Attempt to size allen into stud until it fits tightly is what I did. Make sure it is not loose in there and make sure you do not halfway engage the key with every turn!

This.

Haha, wait til you are in there. You will reevaluate your life.

 

The only time I felt like making the truck an insurance loss was the headers.

 

Halfway engage the key??

 

Yeah, make sure the Allen key is fully inserted into the stud or else you will strip the points of the stud, rendering the stud fully unserviceable at that point.

The equal to rounding out a phillips head screw. Duh.

 

Oh. You mean allen-to-torx mod. I got that experience. Strip an Allen, use a torx.

 

You mean the Allen to circle mod? Lol.

I think even the best of us do. I know I do. It happens, but in this case, avoid it at all costs!

 

Needle nose vice grips follows torx...in my experience haha

 

For what it's worth I live 20 minutes away and there are plenty of hotels around me.

Makes you fortified and hearty.

 

I live directly across the river from two refineries. I should be good.

 

That's how you get methanol cheaper than water.

 

Anything less than balls deep is unacceptable

 

Race gas!!!

 

Fully insert until you reach the base of the shaft.

 

I just want the butterfly to operate smoothly.

 

Don't be afraid of it. It's like I previously said you can physically feel once the butterfly begins to bind on the blower casing. That is your sign you need to back off and retighten the screw just a hair. Once you hear the audible tink that your audible indicator that you are all adjusted up and set to go. You can use the position of the adjustment screw as a visual example as well on the third picture I posted in the first page of the thread as to how much thread on the stud needs to be sticking up to stop the lever.
