Nice work on the install. I've had mine in for about a year and love it. However, i just ordered a Power Tray and in doing so i forgot about the coolant reservoir haha! Any chance you have an extra bracket laying around and/or could make one? Any other considerations for relocating the reservoir?

Anywho, my build is one of those not your typical 4Runners and after reading through the install guide I figured I better do it myself. That way I could spend the time to work through whatever issues I encountered. I also documented some steps I found confusing or needing correction but rest assured the install guide is amazing and will get you through the install no problem.
Before really unboxing anything I did the pre-requisite of downloading my ECU's info onto the handheld tuner to send to Magnuson. I've read that some had issues with the software/tuner so it's best to get this step out of the way before proceeding. I sent my file to Magnuson Thrusday around 10pm PT and got the modified file the next morning promptly before 9am PT.
I was also asked to provide log files after flashing my ECU with the modified file which is easy to do. I opted to wait until I finished installing the SC and sent the logs after flashing my ECU to Magnuson Sunday night and got a reply again Monday morning.
Everything you need... *Sort of* I did order the following from amazon and mcmaster (links below). Everything was individually bagged in a Ikea like fashion and the install guide was written very well.

https://www.amazon.com/Quality-Tools.../dp/B015IT03AE - ETORX
https://www.amazon.com/Astro-Pneumat.../dp/B003D3N7YW - *Nice to have*
Step 28
Had a little trouble with step 28. The way to release the clips was actually hidden by the electric tape.
Step 37
Step 37 said E5 but it’s really an E8. Likely a typo on their end
About here I started to realize I was taking off quite a bit of hardware so I began bagging and tagging parts. Surprisingly a lot of hardware removed does not get reused so doing this is good in case you ever want to go back.
Step 49
Step 49 needs a E6. That’s not in the guide
I dreaded this part only because coming from honda's loosening this bolt would sound like you snapped the bolt straight off. Surprisingly it came off quite easily! The install guide shows they used an electric impact wrench and I believe it now! To take it off I used the crank tool with a breaker bar pressed against the radiator support combined with another wrench to take the nut off.
Step 111,172 should really be combined IF you have the air recirculation EPA stuff installed. If not you'll find yourself unbolting stuff and possibly removing the belt again. Also the supplied 10.9 M8x70 bolt is too long which requires cutting. I couldn't find any alternative online so I took my dremmel and knocked a few mm off.
Another thing is the bracket is mean to use zip ties to secure the air recirculation hose, however, you can actually drill out the rivet for the hose holder and bolt one in to give it a cleaner OEM look.
This is where things started going slow. The recommended location for the reservoir doesn’t work since I have the Power tray bracket to support the SPOD and a few others. To fix this I made a custom bracket which attached to the powertrays. The one in the pic is a rough cut but I'll have a much nicer one in a few days from the laser cutting shop.
Another problem was mounting the pump since I have the Pelfrey front bumper and Warn winch. Solving this involved cutting the supplied bracket for the coolant pump and fixing it to the bolts that the bumper mounts to. There's really no other way to fit the pump securely AND be able to route the hose since the radiator's pipe is bent downward. I should also add that I didn't route the hose around the battery as instructed because of the group 31 battery and powertrays.

I noticed the fluid pump is mounted backwards from the install manual. You have the hoses going to different ports. Did you confirm that it is OK to do this? Did you have to reverse the polarity of the pump? I am about to do the install and need to relocate my pump as well due to a winch and just want to make sure I am OK to do what you did.

Hey dude try removing the body of the quote or the quote altogether as it kills the readability of the thread.

Im glad I found this write up I too prefer to DIY especially when it comes to a SC. How much if any bumper etc did you have to pull and how long did the whole process actually take AFTER initial delivery gloos over sorting of kit. Thanks and well done.

If installing with OEM bumper, there is no need to pull the front bumper. I would definitely figure on 2 full days for install.

Awesome write up!
I want to pick one up and tackle the install myself also. I just wish the kit was around $5k or so; would make it easier for me to stomach, but I bet I still end up buying one eventually anyways.

Glad to finally see a write up for a DIY’er. I did my instal on my 3rd gen and it wasn’t too bad. The 5th gen kit definitely seems more daunting but doable for a solid at home mechanic.
How’s the noise? The 3rd gen kit noise was intoxicating.

Noise? From the supercharger? It’s very quiet. Very OEM. The only time I hear it is around 3-4K RPM, then I hear a little bit of whine from the blower. I wish it had more whine to it.

supercharger install radiator upgrade
While installing the SC I "plan" on installing the CSF aluminum radiator at same time. Would that be a smart move or adding extra problems? TY for this entire write up again and was thinking of replacing trd pro airbox with the AFE Momentum GT cold air intake unless thats wasting money My only concern is will the AFE hook up to safari snorkel no prob.

That's cool. I like the blower noise. Was hoping it would be more pronounced than it seems to be on the 5th gen.

If I ever win the lottery, that's exactly what I want to do. Can you keep us updated on your progress?

Some companies allow you to spec helical or straight cut gears. Straights are way louder.

Do you have any of the can brackets as I have an SPOD right there on bracket, or do you have measurements for one? Thank you
