Not true Safari Turbo is CA CARB approved
Oh are you just talking about putting a TRD Supercharger on an 80? If so yes it has been done many times over. The Supercharger in that article Sprintex is not CARB certified. If you can find a TRD SC jump on it, or wait for the Turbo to be CARB certified.
Seeing that turbo setup and having had a highly modified turbo vehicle (600+whp) I would suggest a snorkel if you don't have one already. It will reduce intake temps to near ambient temp and should yield a bit more performance. Just saw the snorkel in your avatar ... good.
Wondering why not a smaller turbo if you are only running 4psi and it takes 3k to spool this one. The more area under the curve the better imo. My truck doesn't seem much time above 3k and if I was building for a daily driver I would want it more in my powerband. Your setup seems best applied for mountains or towing. Put a turbo blanket on it as well or you may cook that hood liner.

It has everything to do with engine management. The 1fz computer on US 80's doesn't go into closed loop until higher RPM. Before that point, it will not be able to provide enough fuel to keep a good air-fuel mixture for boost. If you're spooling up and low RPM, you will run way too lean and could cause engine damage. If you have stand-alone engine management, then you'd be spot on- smaller turbo would provide more pep in the low and mid range.
My 60mm turbo seemed to spool up around 2300 or so depending on conditions.
Is the Safari turbo only for diesel motors?
I was asking if anyone has done this specific SC build. I’ve been watching the net like a hawk for a TRD SC.
Does anyone know the process of a turbo being CARB approved?

Safari turbo for 1FZ was available in the late 90's and couple are still in CA
Do you have a vendor? I’m googling and am not finding petrol only diesels
No longer available in the US
