There is no such thing as too much horsepower. Since 2014, Toyota had decided to ax the 4.0 V-6 as an engine option for the Tundra. That left the 4.6 and 5.7 as choices off the lot, with the TRD Pro coming standard with the 5.7. All around, PRO package is extremely capable, offering Bilstein remote reserve shocks, front coil springs, a protective 1/4 ¼-inch aluminum front skid plate, and a TRD-developed cat-back dual exhaust system. These let you ride in style and comfort and with the benefit of the largest engine Toyota offers.

Could there still be more power? How? Well, by adding a supercharger, of course! A properly developed supercharger system generates reliable, measurable horsepower and torque using the tried and true method of cramming the engine with a consistent supply of cold, dense air. This results in an intake cycle that receives more oxygen, letting it burn more fuel, and produce more power. Yeah, most images of a supercharger conjure up a large mass of shiny metal aggressively sticking through the hood of a muscle car, or proudly on display atop the engine of a hood-less hot rod, Toyota has developed a system that’s a little more incognito.

Toyota has developed an Eaton TVS Roots-type supercharger that uses twin, four-lobe rotors, which produces gobs of horsepower and torque on demand, but fits discreetly beneath the hood of this ’15 Tundra TRD Pro. It has the additional benefit of being produced in-house since ’08 and is available as an off-the-shelf install at dealerships when purchased new. With this install, the truck and the supercharger are purchased at separate times, but are still installed at a dealership to maintain continuity. With dealership installation, the warranty is kept intact and the work is performed by trained installation techs.

 to take advantage of their large repair center and be able to have plenty of room to move around. Follow along as we install this factory developed supercharger kit on this ’15 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro.

The kit was sent from Toyota in two separate boxes, complete with the supercharger itself, a new airbox lid and filter, coolant crossover manifold, a new oil cooler tube, and thermostat bypass tube, fuel injectors, fuel pump, the all-important intercooler and pump, as well as a mile of new hoses, and shiny new mounting hardware to lock it all down.
