    I am starting this thread to gather interest on continuing it for a basic "how-to" on installing a TRD supercharger in a 1st gen Tacoma with a 3.4 V6 engine. This 2001 Tacoma was brought to my shop to have a used kit installed in the truck. This kit does not have the 7th injector setup at this time. We will be installing it for the customer next week and I plan to take as many photos as I can, without slowing down production time. If you are interested in finding out more on this, just sub and let me know. Thanks.

    I actually have photos for several different write ups like ARB lockers front and rear, and onboard air systems, as well as transmission/clutch work, and several diagnostic workshops for common codes like P0420, P0300, and others. I just haven't taken the time to write them all up yet.

    More photos and write up coming up as the job progresses. I have a lot of photos already taken but had some issues with the camera shutting down all the time. I will bring more info this weekend.

    Really sorry. Running a shop, and life in general has taken me off task on several things. This included. I will try my best to finish it up soon.

    Why not just follow the TRD install instructions? They are more than thorough enough to do the job. I wouldn't go out of your way to reinvent the wheel Bill. Just keep on keeping on.
