I asked that chat the exact same question last week and got the same response. Nice to see they're already working on it! I've installed one of these in a previous vehicle with a 4cyl turbo and was pretty impressed by the results.
I hate to void the warranty, but maybe towards the end of the warranty period I’ll slap one on. I’d imagine intake and exhaust would help, and if we could ever get a down pipe, after market Intercooler, a boost controller etc. it would probably be pretty wild for a Tacoma.
Yeah I'll probably wait a while to pull the trigger for similar reasons. I don't think there's much information out there about how much boost these turbos are running from the factory.
It shows a gauge from 0-15 psi and will fluctuate depending on how much boost is needed. I’d imagine that a programmer could help keep it spooled up higher for longer. A lot of times I’ll be driving a the boost will be at 0 until I give it some throttle. I typically keep mine in sport mode, because I could honestly care less about a mile or two per gallon savings that I would get in eco. Sport is how I feel like the normal mode should be, plus I like the red background and while in sport mode! — congrats on the truck being built, it’s a painful wait but you’re almost finished!Yeah I'll probably wait a while to pull the trigger for similar reasons.

Does the boost gauge in the cluster show actual psi or is it just a level that goes up/down under load?

here is some discussion on the topic. The 2.4L Turbo engine isn’t new for Toyota/Lexus, it’s been in the RX-350/NX-350 and I believe other vehicles for a while. We may have some luck adapting some existing Lexus performance mods for the T24A-FTS.Yeah I'll probably wait a while to pull the trigger for similar reasons.

Thanks for digging up that thread! Seems promising because it's not an entirely new engine platform, just a different application. I fully expect to see several aftermarket power options available in the next couple months. We've seen pretty decent aftermarket support so far considering how few trucks have been available up until the past few weeks.
