this is going to be great! what kind of power levels are you shooting for?

I'm running a aem wideband so I know instantly if I'm running too rich or too lean I was getting around 13+ afr at wide open throttle around 3500ish rpm so I let off. Just taking it easy cruising until its properly tuned for now Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

just 10 lbs, i couldnt really go anything higher than that because it would lean out since it not tuned yet im hoping it doesnt take much more to get to the max 16 lbs boost

Thanks! Took it for a quick spin tonight and had 10lbs by 3400 rpm. Being untuned I didn't want to push it any more but ill see what it can actually do after its tuned Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

Interfooler showed up today! Not bad quality for a mid priced eBay one. Turbo is bolted on and ready to go. I'll see how it runs after work, hopefully no more clouds of smoke coming out of the exhaust! Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

made an adapter to rotate the wastegate 90* so it doesnt dump out toward the oil pan and i can fit a dump tube in there slightly angled also made a custom dipstick tube with some high temp braided hose to clear the new header turbo is back from being rebuilt and should installed in a...

rebuild kit ordered, should be here friday and rebuilt by sunday or monday! got a good deal on some yokohama tires with 90% tread, and some 17x8 wheels 245/45-17 all season tires what do you guys think? took some video with my friends contour before the turbo started smoking a bunch. got a...

that thing looks like it pulls hard! how much power are you putting down to the wheels? ill give alamo a call and see how much they would charge to balance, watched some youtube videos and doesnt look like its too hard to replace the bearings and seals

there is a shop locally that would send it off somewhere to be rebuilt for 399.99 which is really expensive imo my friend who works at a machine shop said he could rebuild it for around 150$ including the rebuild kit, but not 100% on how good his work is going to pm albert and see if he could...

ill try and get a sound clip here soon bad news earlier, turbo will need a rebuild. i was taking a chance with a used turbo off a diesel with 100k miles anyway, smokes quite a bit. wastegate needs rotated 90* from how it is now. the dump tube only has a couple inches and hits the oil pan :(...

that cage looks really good man

looks good! i see you tucked the downpipe in there a little better than i did. where did you put the heater control valve?

exhaust is done and sounds great with a full 3'' turbo back! going to make a custom oil dipstick tube soon, then take it to cajunkenny for a tune next on the list is: afrp from driftmotion new intercooler lines bigger intercooler ffim?

thanks yeah that red wire has been bugging me since day one when i went to look at the car before i bought it good idea on the relay, i didnt think of putting it there

thats a pretty slow spooling turbo, i wonder if he is running the bigger exhaust housing that came on some of the dodge turbo diesels?

cars finally put together and sounds great with just the downpipe on! taking it to the exhaust shop on monday, and hopefully can figure out this issue with the dipstick. im running a driftmotion style header with the t4 flange toward the back of the engine. im not able to run the factory...

i would also recommend going with a OEM toyota egr cooler plate gasket if you are running egr. most of the other manufacture gasket kits come with a felt type gasket and don't hold up well at all it will save you a lot of trouble later on!

thanks! Several hours + goop off + rerouting a few wires, you get this. not the best, but definitely cleaned up the engine bay a lot! still waiting on my downpipe flange do get made, then i can take it to the exhaust shop, then tuned

looks good, where did you end up relocating the battery to?

got the t3-t4 adapter riser made and the turbos on! next on the list is to make a downpipe and finish up the intercooler lines
