I had a feeling it might have been a joke, I definitely missed it. My bad.

Hey I know for a fact my raptor lights will aid in funneling more air into the supercharger under load in order to balance out my A/F ratio and prevent it from exploding. “Pedal General”

I'm not sure of the weight of my trailer. Maybe 2-2500..... I have been meaning to get it weighed. It is actually hooked up to my 4runner now. I had my first experience towing on the freeway yesterday. I caught myself speeding twice. I live in California <55 . It kept wanting to sit in overdrive which it pretty much never did before. I went up 1 grade that I used to have to get a running start at. She stayed in 4th and cruised up the hill without downshifting and maintained 60 all the way up. Overall seemed way better.

Sorry for the necro, I was going to ask a question regarding Magnuson superchargers but I haven't posted enough replies yet.

What I take from the other posts here is that the increase in acceleration from an sc is alright and that you will need to rebuild in more or less 60k miles.

However, what I see is all feedback on the road. Does anyone have references about offroad and backcountry performance? For reference, I drive in desert and dunes at high altitude once a month.

Thanks all!

That and I am an old man who drives like an old man and therefore I thought I really do not need one. My 2cents for what it is worth.
Has this 60K service interval been corroborated anywhere else? It was my impression that this application has very mild boost, and emphasis on OEM longevity and driveability, rather than all-out power. I would think that a short service life is more for hot street or strip applications.

In my opinion the 60k service is incorrect, I’ve been told about every 90-100k miles.

I agree to this statement.

If you keep everything stock on the blower. Life expectancy is quite long. I do know you have to service it at like a 100k for internal oil.

Now I've had buddies with 3rd 4runners run close to 15 to 18psi of boost on their TRD Blowers. And the blower needed a rebuild after like 20 to 30k.

Here's an article written by Gadget ( URD owner ) his been doing this along time. I heard about him and have followed him since the late 90's early 2000 ...

Supercharger Maintenance.
