Seems most are leaning towards that spill control valve. It's not the cheapest but also not the most expensive part and easy to access. Going to replace it. Injectors were tested a year ago and were spraying fine. Fuel pump, I'm not sure if it was looked at, but I replaced my fuel filter last...

Luckily the head shop went direct to Toyota for the head, head gasket and shims. Trusting they checked for true/flat prior to installing. I'm going to inquire further, although they just did my engine mounts and dipstick gasket and I mentioned this issue. They were the ones who pointed to turbo...
