Jeep JK Magnuson Supercharger - install and impressions
First of all, we'd like to thank Wes @ Magnuson for his hard work on getting this kit out, and the entire Maggie team for bringing a new forced induction system to the JK world.
-----------------------------------------------------
System arrives in two boxes, one box containing the HEAVILY padded and protected supercharger unit. It was even vaccuum sealed for extra protection since any debris getting inside the housing could be catastrophic. The second box contained the related install components, including tray, intercooler, pipes, hoses, and Diablo tuner.
First thoughts? Holy cow. The finish on the supercharger is amazing. Right down to the token "for off road use only" decal being on the UNDERSIDE of the unit (thanks for that
).
Install will be on a 2007 automatic unlimited. We are going to go over the instructions (which are full color and seem very detailed) and work with Wes if we come across any hiccups.
Let the wrenching begin.

Since you guys do a lot of the RIPP systems I can't wait for a real comparison. Hope you give some good honest feedback, not that you won't.
Looking forward to more info on how the install goes and what the performance is like when finished.

Very nice to see. I have personally installed two magnuson superchargers and the installs are very straight forward and have always had great results. The blowers are truly put it on and drive it. Good to see Maggie on board with Jeep.
The vehicles we had Maggies on were a 2004 Silverado SS and a 2006 GTO.
