I'm trying to find the thread, not sure if it was on Mud or not. A guy was running an 80 with a turbo 1FZ, hp was dyno'd mid 200's if I remember right.....but torque was nuts at around 1000nm. He said it pulled like a train empty or loaded. I will keep looking.
you are in the same boat as me. either sell the truck and get a new one to build, buy an expensive piggyback or stand alone or go with a V8 swap. not much you can do with the 93-94 trucks that are worth the cost.

It was on here. I proved that mathematically that is impossible and that the dyno operator made a mistake. It happens very often unfortunately.
My supercharger plan fell thru, so I would be interested in this. How complicated would the install be? Comparable to super charger in terms of skill? I know a blower vs turbo is completely different thing, but being able to install myself would be a huge plus. Would tuning be required? Apologies if these are dumb questions, I just don't know much about turbos.
I love the idea of a ready-to-go turbo kit, but I would also be very interested if the parts were available à la carte. Maybe have kits available in stages depending on how much the buyer wants/is able to build and fab on their own? The ability to buy and build in stages makes the $$$ aspect much easier for me to handle.
I've been hoping that you'd put something like this together @scottryana! Or at least hold a hand as someone puts together a kit like what you've spec'd out in other threads...

That's a very good price for a quality bolt on kit. If I buy another cruiser for the wife I'd be in for one for sure.
Interested after someone test it out for a few thousand miles.. I want to retain the stock reliability
I'm in. I've contacted Magnuson and Toyota of Dallas. Apparently it took them 2 years to sell the 100 units they built last time. Maybe a group buy on Magnuson could entice them.... I didn't think it wound ever go away.
Various websites show the 1fz supercharger for sale still.
All ship from Magnuson. Not shipping.
@scottryana I just transferred $3000 into my paypal, just need to know your paypal

Ryan approved parts for the win, would definitely be interested. I was planning on doing this all myself but work has got me neglecting all my personal cars/trucks. So if you can source or find a manufacturer to build some dependable parts, I'm all in and would offer my services for installation for local mudders.
I'd like to see what you have planned for a manifold and WG

Ryan, I am game for the 1fz turbo kit.. I would love to install a turbo on my 105 series 1FZ and the 5 speed. It would be very fun to drive...
I am very interested in getting the turbo kit for my 1FZFE. 30%-40% power gain is over stock is good for the price of the kit.
To bad nobody is building a J-pipe anymore !
Having owned a Super Charged 80 in the past and presently owning a Turbo charged 80 there is no comparison IMO
Super Charged 80 are for people that have never drove a Turbo 80
