Magnuson TVS1900 Kit Available Now

[brancky3]

You just have to watch the skinny pedal as it makes a huge difference in how fast the Gladiator is! I dont know why but it seems everyone wants to race from the stop lights now, lol.

Any chance you can post a speedometer video or something similar? I know this would make a huge difference in acceleration but would love to see some numbers.

I have been driving our JTR with the Magnuson TVS1900 on it for about a month now. I have a very heavy foot as all our other cars are LS powered and I must say this JTR is like driving a go-cart now with the TVS1900 on it. Our JTR is still stock other then the supercharger for now. I am going to say that the shifts are perfect and the power is always there. You just have to watch the skinny pedal as it makes a huge difference in how fast the Gladiator is!

It is such a blast to drive now that we are going to drive it around a little longer the way it is. The near future plans are an RK lift, 37" tires and 4.56 gears.

keep us posted on the 37's and 4.56. I still have the 3.73 with 35's and it's fine as is, but once the 35's are done I'll be going a nice overhaul!

This is awesome... I have a Magnuson supercharger on my huracan. I definitely want this for my Jeep...
If you stomp the gas from a dead stop with traction control off will it smoke the tires? haha I know, juvenile question but hey, I have a hellcat and it's fun to do that every now and then

It will spin them a lot easier. It is not going to do a huge burnout like a V8 with a supercharger, lol.

Appreciate the honesty haha. Do you guys do motor swaps? :D haha

There are a few companies that do, Hellcat swap is ~$70-80k and Hemi swap is ~$30-40k (which IMO is pointless since you can just supercharge the V6 for $7k and get similar power). But even with the Hellcat swap the Gladiator is not *fast* (0-60 is 5.0 or something)

Yea I think you're right... Supercharge or bust! haha

Agreed! I have been driving our JTR since then TVS1900 install and it is just a blast. It was pretty peppy before the TVS1900 but after it is just downright fun to drive. The only problem is everyone wants to race from a light now, lol.

Is there any whine / whistle with the Magnuson?

This particular setup really doesnt have any noticable wine under boost. You can hear it a little with the freedom panels off.

Would also love to see videos as theres nothing much on this kit

 

[LeftCoast32]

What do you all want to see in a video? Send over another local JTR on stock tires and we can do a side by side comparison video on take off and acceleration..

I wish I was closer, you could add my hemi powered JT to the comparison. Would be very interesting to see the outcome!

That would be fun but I would suspect with the 6.4 you will walk us, lol.

I'd like to see how it sounds from inside the cabin, and if it's hardtop or not
