Oh yeah, that D-1SC is huge so it goes where the battery went and then the battery goes to the back where folks run the second battery.

That's pretty wild. Can't wait to see it done.

Are we seeing owners hold off on installs until warranties are expired, or just going right for it upon purchase of the vehicle?
Shame they are no longer dealer sold/installed, would they be covered then?

Not sure about other folks, but I'm at 15k miles on my 19 and did my suspension swap before I did my first oil change.

Just got it back home
Just got it back home, working on some videos for ya'll but here is one at least with a startup and idle.

A few first thoughts.
It sounds amazing. I got the helical cut gears so no marble sounds, just whine.
The Dyno was busted, so I don't have any numbers unless you want to believe that a stock 4runner produces 518ft/lbs of torque at 1200 RPM.
The overall feel is surprisingly smooth. There is no sudden boost of power like a turbo, it just seems to come on nice and even. About 3k though you can get things to hussle.
The transmission on the drive home didn't hunt for gears at all. It sat itself in 4th or 5th and just stayed there which was kinda nice.
I picked it up and had to go straight to work, so limited experience so far but more to come!

So I'm assuming you're running an A/F ratio gauge, right? Are you datalogging?

It comes with everything except spark plugs. I had to pick up some NGK 7505s. Not sure why that part was left out, but they are easy enough to find.

datalogging. The AFR you'll have to take with a grain of salt since it's OBDII based and not wideband dedicated sensor.
I popped a tire literally 30 minutes after picking it up, so driving has been super limited today but thus far the AFRs have peaked at 18 and still like to hover at 14.6 . The trip computer has lost it's mind and thinks I'm getting 25mpg, but I'm sure that will sort itself out quickly

Yes, you really need to look into a wideband. I run an Innovate gauge with an LC2 controller on both my GT500 and my ski, which also has great datalogging capabilities. Your idle/cruise AFR's are nearly meaningless - you want to pay attention to WOT numbers. Good luck, it's an interesting project.

What are you going to do for tuning?
The last time I checked with Procharger, they told me they don’t have tuning support for 19 and up.

They had a tune for my 19 offroad no problem. We shipped them the stock config and they sent me an hptuner config that we just posted to the truck lickity split.

First tank of gas down
I'm not even gonna post MPG info because my foot is in this thing all the time right now.
Power is wonderful and smooth. It comes on nice and easy, no big burst and it makes a huge difference on hills where I used to hunt for gears. 3k in 4th gear is where it loves to be to really feel the difference, below that it feels close to stock and not like a 4runner with 1000lbs of armor and tires. Get above 3k and the needles move in a hurry to the right.
Temps haven't moved for the most part. The engine runs about 5F hotter but the trans and converter temps haven't budged.
0-60 got fun. I'm in mid 6s now and with the new tune I actually get into the rev limiter if I sit on WOT where it shifted well before that previously.
People stare at me like my truck is going to explode when i pull into a parking space or up to a light. A few car people have smiled after seeing the inter cooler, but most folks have asked what is wrong with my car and one guy suggested I needed a new power steering pump. The whine is really noticeable. It's literally the first thing you hear when the truck approaches, this may not be a sound for everyone.
I road in a magnuson 2015 4r today and overall I would say that the mag is great if you want deep down grunt, but it fades fast and isn't really noticeable at highway speeds. If you spend most of your wheel time in 4-hi I would magnuson all day long. If you can get the revs up a bit though, this procharger feels like it can spit fire.
For in town, highway etc, it's all about your driving style. I drive like an old man. I'm never first off the line, never really in much of a hurry but when I get on the highway I like to get into it a bit more. I did end up backing my pedal commander down to sport 1, it doesn't seem to get along well with the tune and causes very early shifting.
Would I do it again? Based off of a single tank of gas, yeah of course, it's fun! More to come including Dyno runs and videos!

The whine will calm down a bit as it breaks in. You should have heard the old P1SC's with straight cut gears back in the day!

I saw a few videos with the straight cut and was like oh no, we're going helical. Glad I made that choice , no ball bearings in a can sound to go with the whine. I personally love the sound but the looks are pretty fun
