    How strong is your A340E? How about 509lb/ft to the ground

    I thought I would share his turbo numbers with you. So you can see what displacement does. I left out the two links. They are here. http://www.theturbotalk.com/gallery and http://www.asautomotive.com/

    HELP is my alt. dead?

    -1. Don't ever do that. It creates a voltage spike that could destroy vehicle electronics. I know cavemen at Autozone and other places have done it, and gotten away with it, but it is dangerous. I didn't really minus one you by the way.

    Rebuilding connectors on engine harness

    The harness is sold as a unit I believe. We had rebuild kits for changing bad wiring and connections. Your local dealer might have a rebuild kit. If they do, take the parts in that you need to redo, becuase the whole kit is probably more than a harness.

    HELP is my alt. dead?

    Sure sounds like a bad charging system. You ran the battery down when the system wasn't charging. I woldn't be putting an alternator from Autozone on your car. Toyota rebuilds are pricey, but they are done in house and last as long as new units.

    What size FMIC on Stock ct-26?

    Spearco replica? Or is it a custom unit with a spearco core, like the Cartech unit/AMS. It isn't easy to go to big on your intercooler.

    How strong is your A340E? How about 509lb/ft to the ground

    In my experience, the Toyota RWD automatic is one of the best built. They never came in "wore out" and need of an overhaul. When they were damaged, they were physically damaged from something.

    Composite head gaskets - Toyota vs Fel-Pro

    That looks just like an OEM composite to me. Looks good, like all their other gaskets.

    How strong is your A340E? How about 509lb/ft to the ground

    http://lextreme.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3248&page=1&pp=20 His turbo Tundra layed down 395 rwhp and 509 lb/ft of torque through the IPT modified valvebody A340E. Nice numbers by the way. Nothing beats displacement. 7 psi and massive power. This looks like a typical 5.0 Mustang turbo dyno...

    There is a really big difference in no smog law, and no enforcement of a law. All states have "smog laws".
