Here’s what I did/made

Looking good. One important thing I’d like to add. After roughly 6000 miles with my turbo installed the “rubber” portion of the oil return line completely melted…. I thought I had given it enough clearance from the J pipe but evidently not. Thankfully, the HD Auto Oil return line kit came...

I’m in 100% agreement that turbocharging the 1fzfe is a great alternative to a V8 swap. I rebuilt my engine some 65,395 miles ago and at the time considered swapping for an LS. Obviously the “Toyota purist” in me got the final say as I’m still 1FZFE…. Don’t get me wrong, I love my V8 engines...

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Blow Off Valves? I’ve personally Always run one in every turbo build I’ve done (regardless of boost level) until now. I like the OEM Bosch ones from late 90s era cars. They are inexpensive, reliable up to about 17.5psi and they can be set up to run as a...

That’s looking good to me.

That’s a really good idea. Do you recall what leg (of the 3) did you cut and reweld?

I choose to route the intake to the turbo this way versus the Wits End way because I might throw a W2A intercooler on it and I’d need the space towards the firewall to do so. The bad side is that I had to cut/extend the MAF connection on my brand new wire harness some and I had to tilt the...

I hooked up the breather into the elbow that connects the MAF to the turbo inlet tube.

Afternoon, I completed my turbo install a few weeks ago. I used the HD Auto J pipe along with their water/oil lines and a Pulsar GTX3576. All the other items I either had or sourced separately. There is a 2”-2.5” elbow at the turbo, a 2.5” aluminum 90* then a straight 2.5” - 3” coupler at the...

Update- Issue Resolved: After replacing and checking multiple different items (see thread for full list) I decided to send my old “original” fuel injectors to to have them professionally cleaned and swap them with the new Denso ones I bought from ebay when I rebuilt the engine. I believe I...

I’m in the same boat; I’m waiting to hear how the Pulsar GTX3582 comes on boost with our US Spec ECM and AFRs. As you mentioned, there’s little info regarding the Pulsar turbo so I’m wondering how it compares to the Garrett Turbo that was supplied in the Wits End kit. Two things for certain...

We are all waiting to hear from you - any updates?

Ok- so it sounds like you think the issue might be in the ECM?

Bump - Update: I’m still struggling with this stupid hard start when cold, p0172 code. Since my last post here’s what I’ve done: -changed out the charcoal canister with a Duralast VC120 (AutoZone) unit. No effect on the hard start issue or my code But I’m very pleased to say I no longer get...

Thanks for the reply, I think you are onto something here LongDuck. When I removed the gas cap to refuel the truck earlier today, I paid close attention to the pressure as I removed the cap. There was enough pressure that once the cap was removed, I could see droplets of fuel spraying out from...
