Magnuson Magnum TVS 2650 Supercharger

[desh]

Has anyone installed one of these on your LC, and if so, what was your experience with it? I’m also curious as to how it stacks up against the Harrop supercharger.

According to the Magnuson website, the ECU tuning issue has been resolved as the kit comes with a handheld tuner.

This has been discussed extensively on the Tundra forums. The Harrop is more efficient, will make more power, and is generally regarded as the better system. Regardless of which system you choose, you should still have the truck custom tuned by either OTT or Yotawerx for max engine safety, efficiency, and drivability.

I installed a Magnuson 2650 a few weeks ago. I'm very pleased with it so far. The quality of the kit was the best I've ever seen in the aftermarket. I can't stress that enough. The instructions, packaging, parts, everything. Just outstanding.

I went with Magnuson over the Harrop for my own reasons. And I would do it again.

As far as the Harrop being better than the Maggie I think thats splitting hairs, and we tend to do that with these trucks and mods. Something has to always be better but most of the time that doesn't mean anything real world.

Magnuson does a remote tune and so far it's worked great. The power is VIOLENT. I'l be leaving for Cruise Moab in a few weeks driving from South Ga to Utah. That will be the first real test. I think it's gonna be a blast!

Thanks for answering my questions and the very informative post. It looks like you do quite a bit of off-roading.
Have fun in Moab!

The fact that it comes with a packaged tune is great, especially if you plan on just keeping it plug n play. The Harrop will run on the stock tune, but the stock tune is not optimized for boost, especially the torque to load table.

How is it significantly more efficient if they are both using 2650 rotors? Does it just have a better intercooler?

Prior to installing a stage 2 Harrop on my LX, i did a ton of research. This thread is basically the Bible for supercharging the 5.7:

I think you’ll be fine with either platform, but I recall reading both the rotors and intercooler is better designed and more efficient on the Harrop. If you do decide to go with Harrop, make sure to install aftermarket injectors and get a custom tune. Actually regardless of which supercharger you choose, get a custom tune.

Definitely a pain in the ass to read, but there is a lot of good info in there.
