make sure you keep the boost down, especially without an intercooler. A pyro gauge is a must. There are many 1HZ motors that have been destroyed by fitting a turbo (and many that haven't). Mine burned a hole in a piston and cracked cumbustion chambers. Otherwise it went well. The direct inection toyota engines (1HDT, f, e) have different pistons etc.
