    New member, so I apologize if this has already been discussed at length in some thread. I have a 1999 SR5 2 wheel drive with 76K miles. Bone stock except for rear spring spacers (1.5in). I don't tow or haul much other then humans, but find at times in certain situations, that the vehicle is a little under-powered. With that said, I would love feedback on the Magnuson Super Charger.

    Things like:
    - ease of installation
    - known issues
    - impact to vehicle longevity
    - gas mileage
    - driveability
    - etc.

    Thanks!

    It will wear the engine. Transmissions are known to fail earlier.

    Only real way for real HP gains though.

    Gas mileage will obviously be worse.
