Magnuson Presents the Toyota Tundra TVS1900 Supercharger System

Magnuson is proud to announce the release of their Toyota Tundra Supercharger System, which is available for the 2007-2015 Toyota Tundra 5.7L V8 truck. The OEM look of the integral supercharger system on this platform allows for a single, large charge air cooler, a larger plenum and tapered runners – these are just a few of the advancements. At around 7 psi, the Tundra Supercharger System outputs a whooping 550hp and 550lb-ft of torque at the crank, all with CARB certification pending.


At the heart of the Magnuson Supercharger System is Eaton’s latest Twin Vortices Series (TVS) supercharger unit, the TVS1900. The system is a positive displacement, roots style pump, utilizing Eaton’s lightweight, four-lobe 160 degree twisted rotors. It is cast and assembled as a single, OEM-style-manifold and rotating group housing. As a plus, the unit is quiet, compact, attractive, easy to install, and requires little to no extra maintenance once it is on. Check below for some photos, and you can browse through our entire selection of Magnuson Supercharger Systems here.

  • Installs can usually be completed within one day.

  • Also available as a “Tuner kit”, please enquirer within.


Additional Notes from Manufacturer: 


Since the supercharger does not compress air as it moves through the rotors, it’s extremely efficient during light throttle and cruising situations. Unlike screw-type positive displacement superchargers that are always compressing, the TVS unit can internally bypass unwanted air, resulting in negligible parasitic loss during cruising and therefore far greater fuel economy.


The single cast unit and appropriately sized rotating group eliminates potential leak points and allows for a slim, compact design without sacrificing key airflow design characteristics. The unit features a high velocity flow path through the supercharger rotors and an unrestricted discharge port into the appropriately sized plenum. The large plenum equalizes flow across all ports as air feeds evenly through the low-pressure-drop, dual internal air-to-water charge air coolers. Finally, the ports are separated into individual runners, offering greater operation by eliminating cross-fire.

Cobb Flex Fuel Upgrades Now Available for the 2008+ Subaru WRX and STI

If you are similar to us here at Vivid Racing then you love horsepower! Gaining those those extra ponies from your vehicle can be achieved through bolt-on parts and proper tuning, but there is an easier way that can really up the power and that is by using a different type of fuel such as Ethanol. Unlike race fuel which is expensive and impractical for daily use, Ethanol is cheap and can be easily obtained throughout the the US in the form of E85. E85 is an abbreviation for an ethanol fuel blend of 85% denatured ethanol fuel and 15% gasoline or other blend of hydrocarbon. The octane rating of E85 is approximately 105-108 Octane points (depending on manufacturer) which is essentially like running race fuel in your car but at over half the cost!


Cobb Tuning has just released their Flex Fuel upgrade kits for the 2008-2014 Subaru WRX and 2008-2016 STI. These kits contain all the essential parts such as the Cobb Ethanol Sensor kit, replacement full lines, wire harness and replacement fuel lines making this a true plug-and-play solution. They also have packages for vehicles already utilizing a stage 2 or stage 3 setups.
