I just got my blower installed this weekend. Perfect timing!

Sweet, rounded corners.....

Do we have an official word on this SC regarding CARB states?

 

[2fpower]

I will check. Last work is that the great nation of California does nothing quickly or free.

find someone with a trd kit and the sticker, take a pic of the sticker and print out a new one!

Here is the idea.... The purchasing power of many can be great!

As we all know, Magnuson has begun producing a supercharger for our 80 series rigs. The sticker price is about $4,300, and the thought occurred to us, what if we get a bunch of people ready to buy these and see if vendors will compete to get a stack of orders.
So, we started to see how many people would be interested, and at this posting I have been contacted by 12 people that are interested and ready to commit to this. The goal is to get to 20.

We are looking for anyone that wants to join us. The power of many! In additioan, we are looking for Magnuson vendors that want an easy large quantity sale. If you have a contact with a vendor, let us know.

Once we have 20 people that want to order this supercharger we will start contacting vendors directly to shop it around.

Details.

I am estimating that the final price is about $3,500 or under.

Whatever the best price is, the individuals pay directly to the vendor (much like the group buy from 4x4labs). You do not send me a penny.

Shipping would likely be in addition to the price, and I will work with everyone to try to group ship if there is a cluster of you in one area.

Timeframe -- I would say next three months. I have no idea on how fast Magnuson is producing these, plus we have to find a vendor. My plan is to get a list of 10-20 people and then start contacting vendors. Once we get a vendor that wants to play ball, I will give them the list of addresses and contact information and then you will call them and pay for it.

I saw Joey's post with a bunch of stickers a while back. I'm not sure how easily you can fool the guys at the smog check station with a Magnuson sc and a TRD sticker.

Magnuson was the original manufacturer of the TRD supercharger, to my understanding.

It's a reproduction of the actual sticker. I used these for my own smog check. Guy checked the belt orientation and checked the carb number in the book. That was it. Good to go.

Tempting.

I need to send my wife off to rehab then.

 

[2fpower]

Let me know if your interested.

 

[Dragos80]

Let me know if your interested.

I mentioned I have a wife. There are a lot of things in life I am interested in.

A blower is a blower, is a blower. If the Magmuson "copy" presents like the TRD it replicates the visual should be a breeze and the "original" information labels could be expected to pass muster.....

Or to paraphrase a mudder, the snorkel goes up, the panties go down.

why else would they be sticking a piece of metal up tailpipes! Not the sharpest tools in the shed!

just have to pray that you get one of the "dumb" ones when time comes to go to the sniffer!

Seriously the last version said TRD on the side of the blower Plenum, before that it said kazuma. The new version says Magnuson. And from the prior Toyota version the only difference is there is no markings that say Toyota on it. I agree with Dan, I don't see how this could not pass.

 

[2fpower]

Original.

 

[Heckraiser]

machine the markings off?

 

[UTkruzer]

and maybe @bhicks can make some aluminum TRD badges?

 

[Dragos80]

Just a question.
25% hp and torques increase with this setup?
