Hey everyone, We just finished dyno testing our new front mount intercooler for the 2024+ Tacoma, and wanted to share some real numbers and context with you all. This test was done on a stock truck with only our intercooler installed — no intake, no tune. The goal was to isolate what the intercooler alone can do. We used 4th gear on the 10-speed auto, which meant we had to feather the throttle below 4K RPM to avoid kickdown, so the low-end numbers are a bit skewed. But above 4K, the results were extremely consistent and repeatable. Here’s what we saw comparing OE vs SXTH intercooler: Peak power jumped from 248.6 hp to 264.1 hp (+15.5 hp) Peak torque increased from 288.6 lb-ft to 303 lb-ft (+14.4 lb-ft) Midrange output was noticeably stronger across every run Even in worst-case comparisons, our core outperformed factory We’re seeing lower intake temps across the board thanks to: A bar and plate core with 45% more volume Lower pressure drop (1.5 psi vs 2.4 psi stock) Up to 50°F lower temps at the turbo outlet and 12°F lower post-intercooler It’s a direct bolt-on, retains all OEM sensors and components (including grille shutters), and doesn’t require a tune. It’s also compatible with the 2025+ 4Runner and 2024+ Land Cruiser LC250.

A recent storage mod I carried out on my Tacoma some 2 weeks back, was when I attached Molle panels to my sun visors to hold a knife, flashlight, tape measure, small notebooks, and a pen securely.

Additionally, I repurposed a climbing chalk bag as a center console Molle to store a large water bottle, which fits perfectly and adds a practical touch.

One thing I so much love about the Tacoma, is how easy and practical it is to create new and improved storage spaces for your everyday needs. Something I'd love for other vehicles to learn and improve on.
