  • Tough Tacoma: Scott Bryan’s Magnuson Supercharged Toyota Tacoma

    Tough Tacoma: Scott Bryan’s Magnuson Supercharged Toyota Tacoma

    When you think of common mods for Toyota Tacomas nowadays, you think suspension, bumpers, bed racks, etc.

    But Scott had a better idea…boost!

     

    Scott came to us with a simple goal, to pick up the pace in this 2019 Toyota Tacoma and get the V6 boosted with the help of a supercharger. Luckily, we knew how to make it happen. 

     

    With Scott’s Tacoma in the garage and our amazing team under the hood, we got to work on forcing some induction on the 3.5L. Magnuson’s TVS1900 System is a great option for boosting the third generation Tacoma, really due to the unit’s thermal efficiency, resulting in reliable and considerable gains on the rollers. 

     

    The parts of the kit itself were beautiful and of course the great quality that Magnuson always delivers. There are few things more appealing than freshly machined aluminum in our eyes. 

     

     

    After getting the motor buttoned up and filled with Mobil 1, our team at the Wilmington shop and calibrator Vlad got Scott’s Tacoma on the rollers and set for tuning.

     

    Achieving what he had sought out for, Scott’s Tacoma put down 310whp and 290lbft of torque, nearly 100hp and 50lbft in gains!

     

     

    With goals met and the Tacoma ready to go, we can’t wait to see what Scott does with it! Let us know if your Tacoma needs a similar boost.

  • Baller F-Sport Products for the Lexus GS and IS Vert

    F-Sport has finally expanded it’s already ridiculously awesome product line to include the Lexus GS, IS C and the IS AWD models. The F-Sport line (parts derived or inspired by the Lexus IS-F) has only encompassed the IS250 and IS350 line, but now you can have all of the previously exclusive and ballertastic parts on your GS as well.

    F-Sport has always done a really good job of making performance based products such as a Carbon Big Brake Kit, Forged alloy wheels (in 18 and 19″ flavors), Sway Bars, Intake, and Exhaust. The line for the GS/IS/C carries over.

    Speaking of the IS Convertible, have you seen it? Dear God, that’s one of the only convertibles I would ever drive. Few companies can pull off a convertible like Lexus can, and they haven’t failed this time, that’s for sure. Convertibles are usually reserved for females, effeminate guys, or the retired. I’ll take any stereotype that comes along with it in this thing. Lexus gets two thumbs up from me.

    Of course, all F-Sport products carry a 12-month warranty, which is a huge incentive for getting F-Sport parts instead of some other aftermarket manufacturers parts. You really can have your cake and eat it too, Lexus owners.
