Is there a Toyota part number for a dial gauge to go with SST 09275-54011? (Substitution for 09275-54010).
I have messed around by hand but I guess with the amount of work I do on 3Ls I will buy the correct tool.

Pretth sure you should be able to use any generic dial gauge

Some more updates. I've ordered a whole plethora of Toyota SSTs that I've been missing for awhile.
Including the valve clearance tool (09248-64011) and the pump plunger stroke tool for fine tuning pump timing (09275-54011). I ordered a Mitutoyo dial gauge that looks like it will work.
I also got some old snap-on metric feeler gauges, that happened to be the right size for checking valve clearances on the 3L.
I should be able to get everything perfect once the new tools show up. Right now the truck is running great. The valves just sound a bit clattery, especially in the cold.

I also fitted up the turbo to take some measurements.
I'm going to need to make a piece for the intake. I've got this really tight space in between the A/C compressor and turbo intake. As you can see the crossover pipe that comes in the kit is designed to direct flow over to the Australian style airbox, which fills the second battery spot.
I want to have my intake directed the opposite direction, through a K&N Apollo filter or similar, and then out the fender to a snorkle. This probably also means repositioning my fuse box a bit.
This filter is about 10 inches long and 6 inches wide, so it will fit in the space I have.
There's also right-hand snorkles available. So I don't have to make one.
At this point really the only thing holding this up is that piece to connect the cone filter pod to the turbo. I'll probably talk to the local welding shop and see if they can cut and modify the intake pipe which came in my kit.

I also took some measurements of the Webasto while I had my airbox out.
It fits nicely.
I'll need to get some brackets made to hold the unit. Seems like another project for the welding shop.
Blue and red lines showing where the brass Ts will connect into upper and lower coolant lines.
A wiring harness with a timer and fuse block! A gentleman in Ukraine sells these on Ebay. He builds them all to order. I ordered this way back in the summer, and payed about 120 bucks. Took 3 months to arrive, but it's sweet. I think I'll have my cabin fan and heated seats run on the timer along with the webasto.
That way it will automatically turn on 15 minutes before I leave for work, and 15 minutes before I leave. As long as the defrost is on, the webasto will pump through the heater core and the fan will blow through it. Melt the ice on my windshield, heat up the car, my seats, and the engine.
This should be relatively light duty for the Webasto unit. It is designed for semi trucks.

Nice work! interested in how it all comes together. Might look into a webasto for my rig

Over the past weeks, I've been collecting necessary factory service tools for working on the 3L. As well as some other tools.
Very excited to try these out. Some came from Amayama, others from the UAE. I also bought an old mitutoyo dial caliper and a newer dial gauge. As well as an old set of snap-on feeler gauges that happen to be the right size for doing 3L valves.
The camshaft/fuel pump pulley holding tool was no longer available anywhere, and was not replaced by any newer part number. I opted for the Schley 96800, which is made in the U.S.A. and is of sturdy construction.
It's like a second Christmas over here!

Any updates/progress since? I'm about to spend $ on ordering all the parts turbo-ing my 5L on a 2002 Dyna (Ly270). Because of the a/c compressor which seems to be the determining factor in space availability, my best exhaust manifold option seems to be: SPA 3L/5L T25 Tmty01 Toyota Diesel 3L 5L T25 turbo manifold - https://spaturbousa.com/products/spa-turbo-exhaust-manifold-toyota-diesel-2-8-3-0-3l-5-l-engines-t-25-tmty01?srsltid=AfmBOopJVxamNkalWPZhyrSJVj8W3M59kmJslhCx8Jo_wAkzILldKVGo. Otherwise, the HD Automotive high mount rear port https://hdautomotive.com.au/product...BbIWB5d56wcxSy-XDKsf9HWn2xuwlCGRch15gYqIM-ojw, or the center port 5L High Mount Centre Port Turbo Manifold - HD Automotive - https://hdautomotive.com.au/product/5l-high-mount-centre-port/?srsltid=AfmBOopGwQa2zv-PRA9tNMWdAv_Ev1j8gL_NI3tkUBSDzJ3-YCHiURPX. If you have more pictures showing your clearance around your setup, that would be amazing!
