    How can I figure out what method or company was used to tune the Magnuson supercharger on my used 2016 Tundra?

    Where did the truck come from? Was it a trade in or auction vehicle?

    Regardless, on every forced induction vehicle I have owned, I have always had an ECU (and TCU when applicable) tune for specific altitude or variation of, fuel type, desired outcome, etc. Its worth just going and having someone who knows what theyre doing handle it for you. Peace of mind if nothing else.

    If I had to guess, its an out of the box tune, or some cheap variation using an HPT or similar. Again, worth just getting it tuned by a reputable shop, preferably with a dyno

    I bought it with only 35k miles on it from Jim Ellis Audi in Atlanta, GA after limping my Silverado in on 7 cylinders do to GM's defective AFM system.

    I'm actually very pleased with it so far,

    I just wish I had some paperwork on the Magnuson that would tell me about how to maintain it, recommended service intervals, etc.

    Ive never run a Magnuson, but I’m sure they would be happy to help you via phone call with those questions.
    I would still have it tuned so you are clear on your A/F at minimum, not to mention lots of other things including getting a desired tune for what you want out of it, i.e. towing/ off-road/ etc.

    As far as intervals I'm fairly sure it was 100K miles for the oil and coolant. Recommend asking here:

    As far as the tuner used it would be hard to say with certainty without knowing the history of the vehicle. The owner may have gotten an additional tune done after installing the canned tune the blower ships with.

    The best bet and what I always recommend when buying second hand boosted modded vehicles is getting it retuned. Then you know its done and done right. Welcome to the boost life. @Saltyhero13 added a thread with a ton of info.
