Matt's 95 Stang

Congrates. Am I the only one that cant view the pics? I am at work so that might be the problem but none of the pics are showing for me.

i thought there where two breeds of mustang enthusiast ... one who would baby their stang... one who would beat it up for every inch of pony... now seeing you take the plunge on SC made me wonder if there is interbreed. i'll be following you soooooon (April 2014 tax credits)..........now time for ( lurking, waiting, crying... n saving all the pennies....

Sean, how do you like the Aeroforce gauge? I'm debating if it's worth the extra 150 bucks to get it for ease of installation. Are boost pressure numbers accurate? Does the 2011-14 mustangs' OBD II support the data readout for such?

Thanks Matthew... yes, for me too, the pics don't show up at work. It blocks the data sharing sites. It should at home tho

I just talked to Magnuson (great customer service) again this morning, to ask them more questions about the install. They could tell I was excited.... their words were "bat out of hell", if I remember correctly.

Shiaz, beware the hunger...

Ditto. I have been curious about the Magnusun kit for a while. It seems very low on power compared to the other positive displacement blowers. I wonder if a pulley change and a re-tune is all it takes to get it in the 600's like everyone else.

From what I've seen ... Folks are putting down 520 whp... That equates to about 600 or more crank hp, more than enough for me. I also talked to magnuson directly, and yes, a simple pulley change and retune is all you need to up the power. I plan on running the box Maggie tune for now. 600 is plenty.

Your workplace must have a block on photos. Pics are posting fine.

HA HA!! Awesome.


Great thread Burton!

Thanks so much guys... I couldn't agree with you more.

...you do know how much this is going to cost you, right? Not the blower kit stupid...in TIRES! Seriously, I hope it all goes together without a hitch and exceeds your expectations.

Update today as of 3pm 9/24...Last night, after deep research and inner reflection (lol), I purchased an autometer cobalt gauge... Only to cancel that order this morning when I woke up, since I wasn't feeling it. Instead, I purchased a Defi Boost Gauge instead, part # DF06501. I did more research today and found that the accuracy of Defi gauges are among the top tier. Thus I decided to go that route instead. Here's a pic of it installed in someone else's vehicle. Mine will obviously be installed in a roush vent gauge pod. Second update, the magnuson kit was shipped yesterday!!! I am obtaining a tracking # today. It should arrive Friday for an install Friday and Saturday.

Nice boost gauge bud!
I hope you get the supercharger on Friday for a 2 day install!

Hey bud. Thought I would chime in here for ya. I recently installed the Maggie kit about a month ago. Power is awesome. Couple of people hit near 600 wheel with a smaller pulley and cold air intake and tune. Which is what I have. No one around me is available to do a dyno tune so I'm running a BBR mail order tune. We are having issues with it going into limp mode a lot as well as some driveability issues. I can't get smooth acceleration at 50-75% throttle. We are working on it as I type this with logging and tune files going back and forth.

As far as the install. Super easy. Probably the easiest kit out there considering there is no hard wiring or cutting. You will be very happy. A lot of people complained about the out of the box tune but you will have to see how you like it. Ill make sure to follow this with you and if you have any questions feel free to pm me. Also. You should invest in either a steeda or boss strut bar. You will thank me later.

Steve... I'm still debating doing this. Which fuse is the fuel pump? From some other folks here, they cautioned me that the car might still turn over due to remaining fuel in rails, etc.... also they said that with the car sitting for almost a week now, should barely be any fuel in lines. Truth to that?

Oh I know it... I need wider ones for sure... Thanks for kind words tho.

Hey Storm! Thanks so much for this input... this is exactly what I want to hear. Sorry to hear of your issues with the current tune. But that's because you went with a smaller pulley and new tune right? I am hoping the box Maggie tune will be sufficient... for now... until I go with a smaller pulley and probably dyno tune at that point. Did you dyno tune? I suspect the issue is with the tune and not with the Maggie kit itself.

So did you do the install yourself? I am concerned about the fuel line removal. I was going to do it now, but will wait until the kit comes in (Friday) due to the need of the fuel barb removal tool. What the heck is that? or the barb for that matter? My inexperience is showing here. The rest of the steps I think are not bad....

But overall, are you happy with your Maggie??? how was it out of the box with the maggie tune?

Short Update as of 9/25 4 pm

I received the tracking #'s for all my stuff, sans the Roush gauge vent pod I ordered from GT50GO here on forum...

Maggie Kit - arriving Friday
Defi Gauge - arriving Friday
Maggie SCT Tuner with Maggie tune - arriving Monday (shipped separate)
Roush gauge vent pod - TBD, when GT50GO ships it today will get tracking #

Getting even harder to sleep at night...... Marilyn looks abused sitting in garage all torn apart ;'(

GT50GO

I PM'ed you, it looks like the gauge pod will also be there on Friday!

Yea my current issue is because I wanted more power. I didn't even start with the base Maggie tune. I installed my kit already with a 3.6 pulley. And I have no cats and put on a cold air intake for it. I never even had the opportunity to try the out of the box setup haha. I just know what I've read on svtp and here about that map being just okay and very safe obviously.
So yea definitely not a magnuson issue. It's my current tune but we are working on it. I'm trying to get a local dyno tune but everyone is weeks out unfortunately.

We used needle nose pliers for the fuel line disconnect. Put a rag or two underneath where you separate the line. You lose like a measuring cup of fuel. Not a big deal at all.

Overall I love the magnuson. I'm sure ill love it 10x more once I'm fully dialed in. It's definitely one of the easiest kits out there and I like being different. And as far as it not making as much torque as other kits. Good. I like being able to hook with my 295-35-19 tires. Only so much torque is useable haha I'm a street driven car with 2-3 times a year at the strip.

Awesome man! I would have sleepless night s as well.

Update as of 9/26/2013 - 8:00 pm I had a few of my buddies come over tonight to help with further teardown. Still no Magnuson kit yet (tomorrow), but I figured there was still further stuff we could do. We removed: EVAP hose EVAP solenoid Brake booster line Fuel line Heating channel foam Fuel Rail/injectors The only "oh crap" moment was we busted the brake booster clamp... not knowing that the clamp was 1 piece, with 2 clips So we destroyed 1 clamp. I'll have to buy better clamps. Oh well. Overall, tonight only took slightly over an hour. 10 minutes of that was that stupid clamp... Everything really was not that bad. I was seriously surprised. It was borderline easy. My buddy with the fuel line removal tool made the process super easy. I was making a big deal out of nothing. We're gonna wait to pull the intake manifold off, until I have the supercharger manifold ready to go. I also still need to get my 50/50 coolant mix, silicone lubricant, and brake cleaner. We anticipate hitting it hard Saturday morning, early... and being DONE BY LUNCH TIME! Sad part is, I CAN'T START THE CAR until my loaded SCT tuner arrives on Monday They shipped it separate for me so I could get the kit sooner, to install this weekend. So Sunday will be a very LONG day Anyways, here's some pics of Marilyn going down further under the knife (notice that I labeled EVERYTHING to be sure I know which is which):

Pictured below, the heating channels, fuel line, evap and brake booster line, and evap solenoid. The fuel line barb plugged up... The stock manifold with the injector holes plugged to avoid anything falling in there... Fuel Rail with stock injectors
