Update on supercharged 1gr-fe

Got it together a while back and slowly working out the small kinks here and there. Mainly getting it to run even better with the 7k of elevation out here in wyoming. Runs like a champ now and it definetly hauls some major ones  Basic info - Stage 3 MKII kit, rotrex centrifugal superchargerhttp://www.rotrex.com/Home/Supercharger_Experience/Details.aspx?kit_id=971aa45c-51c9-4d28-a473-3765062731ca Just my truck on the supercharger site Stage 3 involves, 670cc injectors, upgraded cam sprockets, denso iridium spark plugs, Amsoil air filter, front mount intercooler, doug thorley long tubes with ypipe, banks catback exhaust, and the X1 engine management system    

Nice

That thing would run like a striped assed baboon if it was at sea level! I want one.

Preciate it guys...its a blast. Only thing better then a boosted v6 is a boosted v8   Only pushing about 10lbs boost right now with the 7k elevation. Saw around 12-13 back home in missouri so thats a plus. The kit with stage 3 is rated at 400+ to the wheels. Original plans were to go the normal bag route but street truck is more what im going for now. More power and a coilover setup are in the future along with some more metal work to the exterior

Metal progress beings. Template and rough cut for the metal for rear tail lights. Seen 1 tacoma newer style with different tails so hopefully ill be the second (that I know of). Lights arrived today as well   Good ol AVS billet lights. Rollpan is next after lights are complete and then should be the first XRUNNER with a fully shaved A**

Day 2 progressLeft side filler 90% complete. Needs a hair more curve at the bottom and then trimmed/flanged. Right side filler 60% done.Torn downRough cut on metal after paper and cardboard templates were madeCurved left-right roughly to shape and next is shrinking to get the up-down curve goingRan into a snag with getting more metal funds were lower then expected so the rollpan may take longer then I wanted, reverse light may end up going into tailgate. Once both sides are done and ready to weld ill be making the buckets to fit the leds in since they are way to flat to flush mount on my hard curve bed side

looks dope heres my tails on my 06

Not to much done today unfortunately. Backs starting to act up again so the planishing hammer was definetly not my friend. LOLThis shot was taken before the piece was cleaned up someWent back in to add the bottom and side flange (tailgate side). Come to find out 3 different bends plus 2 different flange bends dont like each other lol. Might end up trimming the bottom flange off and tig welding it in place so I can keep a nice curvature
