    It’s been several months since I’ve posted or even been on here, and I must say I’m not loving the new theme of the site lol.

    I know there are some older threads on this topic but I wanted to start a new one. Who out there is running the Magnuson supercharger? I’ve got a few questions but I’d rather get information from someone who is running one rather than the “I’ve read” or “I know someone” kind of answers.

    Hello friends, so a couple weeks back I got a tune on my 2017 TRDOR DCSB with an manual transmission, stock gearing. It's the OTT 8.0 "spicy" and I'm a bit underwhelmed. I can tell there is a difference but it is pretty subtle. I get that most people who get these tunes have the automatic and...
