    Is that a real thing?? If say you have a programmer (Diablo or whatever) you can use that to load tunes from vendors such as Black Bear? (Sorry if this constitutes hijacking the thread) Sincei bought my blower used it obviously didn't come with a tune, and since I heard black bear is...

    Bah! I figured as much, was trying to decipher it, but gave up.... so you think that'll look okay then eh? Obviously no one makes one that says 'Magnacharged L94" I'd really love to have it say "6.2 L" if anything... all the ones I found for vettes come in a two piece emblem one "supercharged"...

    Just out of curiosity and anxiousness... and who'm I kidding, obsession... I nabbed up this little guy off eBay the other day (hasn't arrived yet, this is just the stock photo off the auction). Its about 4.5" long and maybe 1.5" tall... only picked up one, was thinking either under the hood...

    Thanks man! I really appreciate it! I'd by lying if I said I wasn't nervous... always weary about used parts, even more so with this being my daily driver, and the blower being such a significant component of the vehicle... no matter how much I know all the bases I've covered, I still worry...

    Had some not so freezing weather tonight, and even more rare, some free time... so I went ahead and threw in the fresh plugs and snapped in the new wires... pretty bummed ONLY because all conditions were perfect for me to have installed the entire blower setup if only the parts were here! My...

    thanks dood! just finished wiring and installing it last night (the gauge, not the blower - waiting on parts to be delivered), here's a few daytime-ish (havent seen the sun here in michigan in a few days) photos of it... for a couple extra bucks I purchased a polished bezel lip, and a blank...

    The Family Truckster (my mod/build thread - 2012 Yukon Denali)

    The way I see it... My favorite vehicle that I ever owned was my 2004 Silverado SS (AWD 6.0L), I did a cam, magnuson radix MP112 and a bunch of other stuff, that truck was an absolute blast! This truck, the Denali is the closest thing GM currently makes (in SUV) to that setup (obviously there's...

    As I mentioned in the previous post, I am doing these projects in stages... while I'm waiting on parts I guess I'll explain the stages... Stage I (in stone) - Magnuson TVS1900 @ factory/magnuson settings (6ish lbs. and their tune, etc.) - CK375s & Tires (Kumho) - Corsa Sport Exhaust and...

    Studying up on the blower and what was needed to make it work for my vehicle, and going over the install instructions I noticed my blower did not have the IAT wires coming from the driver's side mid-blower... Looking into this issue I came to find out that the blower originally came from...

    Finally I purchased a Magnuson TVS1900 (used - HELL of a deal). Came with just about everything (just not everything for my application). The kit I got a hold of is for an 08-09 full size GM truck, the only issue/difference is the heat exchanger and fuel rail setup. So, basically, I have to use...

    Moving forward, I purchased the rest of the WeatherTech mats/liners for the rest of the vehicle (entire back seat area and entire cargo area) - I joke with the wife now and put the "fancy carpet mats" back in when we go out on dates! Also, I noticed the previous owner replaced the battery with...

    The Family Truckster (my mod/build thread - 2012 Yukon Denali)

    (Just thought I would throw this together since I'm finally starting to move forward on some of my "projects".) Back in August (2015), I traded in my 2012 Silverado Ext Cab, Z71 LTZ 5.3L @ 80,000 miles (awesome truck, just not enough room for rear facing child seats and my wife and I being...

    South East Michigan - Tuning / Stock Magnuson Tune Upload

    I do, and plan to eventually, but from what I've heard they are on quite the bit of a backorder and it would be weeks/months till I receive a tune... Definitely definitely will go with them, just can't wait that long to install this bad boy!

    South East Michigan - Tuning / Stock Magnuson Tune Upload

    Just wondering if anyone on here in the Michigan area (south east area preferred) had the ability to load a stock Magnuson tune for a 2012 6.2 L full-size AWD SUV? Will pay for credits, time, fuel etc. (within reason).

    Detailed Guide to an LSA upgrade / conversion

    also... at this point it is very clear to me that by the end of said conversion, you will be invested just shy of a brand new complete Mag TVS1900 kit (this, I believe is not exactly news to anyone). Even with that clear, I'm still on a mission to get this solid parts (and part numbers) and...

    Detailed Guide to an LSA upgrade / conversion

    slowly gathering info, coming across quite a few detailed threads on a few different forums, trying to decipher whats BS, old & obsolete, legitimate, on top of what actually works vs what most likely does not, has proven to be on edge of daunting / overwhelming, but never the less, i'm on...
