Installed Magnuson Supercharger and I am very happy with the results

[NoahVD]

I bought an installed but never ran Magnuson kit from a forum member and installed it in December. Other than a few trips to the hardware store for some missing bolts and a pump bracket needing to be ordered the install went great. Took about a week of working on it a couple hours a day to install. Ordered the tuner and calibration from Magnuson and had the PCM unlocked by HP Tuners.
I am very pleased with how its running. Very smooth when driving normally and lots of power when you step on the throttle. MPG is hard to tell because most of my driving after the install has been around town. I think the average reported by the dash is around 13.5 down from the 14.2 it was at before install but again, thats almost all around town.

How's the shifting with the Mag tune? That's what I was always concerned with...I had issues with tuning a V8 swapped JK years ago. Don't really have the funds or a LS swap this time so Mag blower might be a nice compromise.

Right on. Glad you’re happy with the result. “Installed but never ran”, that’s some highly suspect salesmen jibber-jabber. But if it’s ripping who cares. Wish I had one too.

Shifting feels just as smooth as before. I have noticed it might not be going into 8th on the highway as much but I'm not sure about that. I have not done enough highway driving to be confident its any different from before

He had a 2021 Gladiator and got the kit before anyone realized that Jeep changed the PCM mid year on the 21 Gladiator and it was not unlockable to be tuned. So he sent it in to unlock and proceeded with the install only to find out after much waiting that it was not going to be able to work.
