You could always look into getting like a SP61 bolt on.

If the oil dipstick keeps pushing out the tube, you're getting excessive crankcase pressure. All the vent lines hooked up properly?

Most of the problems you'll encounter with a 7m are 99% owner problems, whether it's PO's or current. I don't think you could swap in a 2j and turbo it for the cost of rebuilding the 7m and hitting 300 rwhp.

Good luck with your owning of the 7m, they don't like lazy owners. Just sayin'

There's no nut on the lex afm housing except the ones that hold the stock plastic intake box on the end but there is an adjustment screw. Why did you drill the cap out if you're still running stock boost?

RS3 known for their soft sidewalls yet I could have sworn it was a autox/track tire.

What's Mines unlock over stock?

HX40 7 blade will get you close to 500 bhp with the proper supporting mods. They can cost anywhere from 200-400 in good condition and will last if treated right.

Well.. stock 'big' turbo on the 2j is a ct26. Why not just get a holset hx40 t4 flange and put it on instead?

Its only 4 pieces. One connects to the turbo with a slight bend going to the pipe that looks like an L then you've got the piece that comes through the fender and the other replaces the 3000 pipe.

The turbine design of the ct26 can't sustain higher PSI at higher RPMs.

What?

550 and stock housing would be insanely rich. Lexus afm electronics are the same as the 7mgte, the housing is what's different. Its 25% larger than stock. Try checking the car for codes.

Take your diff apart and see why it's not functioning properly. Obviously something is wrong.

There's your problem, you went to a ford dealer asking for help to repair a vehicle. I'd get the diff pulled and find out why an 'worn out diff' it grabbing harder than they did from the factory.

Probably got shipped dry and it was just installed, not cleaned out and looked over before installation.

I would've loved to seen Clarkson's review on the mk3.

You'll have to weld on a 3" v-band as the one on there is 2 5/8". I was just going to get it turned in the lathe then slip fit a steel v-band on and weld it in place.

I'd called Aaron on the matter of the manifolds before and IIRC he said he does order them as a batch from china but he's made some changes when he orders them such as moved divider and the wastegate flange location/clocked correctly.

Just going to throw this out there, my turbo manifold looks the exact same and I got mine from driftmotion.
