Nice install, are you going to put a proper air filter on instead of the mini pod?

hmm i kinda knew something would break and im glad theres a weak link before the head gasket killed the inlet gasket i guess 20psi will do that

well new manifold gasket and while the turbo was off i ported the wastgate outlet
its heaps better and boost is more stable 8psi rather than 15-20psi spikes
and yesterday i stripped down the entire 80 series chassi i had removed all the factory mounts of it and the coil hats ect ect
have a project im painting in the garage at the moment once its painted it can live outside and the troopy will get to live inside to get the 80 diffs and suspension fitted under it over winter so its good to go come summer YAH

GRRR bad news this weekend staretd swapping in the 80 front diffgot the 40 stuff removed and rolled the 80 diff under put it on stands and started measuring getting it all lined up so i can mark and start welding on the mounts
while im measuring i notice that both radius arms are warped or the diff housing is warped by around 2"
so out it all came for more measuring and checking to find out whats bent im really hoping its only the housing cause i can get a bare one for 50bux
grrr
in the end i swapped the 40 gear back in as im heading away next weekend camping if the weather is 1/2 decent so was hoping to get the front diff done this weekend
owell its like that

Wow eh, I guess you are pushing the 2F places Toyota never envisaged. Can you still get genuine head gaskets? Toyota head gaskets just seem so much better than the aftermarket stuff.

im pretty sure toyota gaskets are avaliable but not on a saturday afternoon and at the moment the troopy is my daily driver so i needed to get it fixed asap
ive backed the boost way down only running 5psi these days but its still enough power to happily sit at 100-110 up hills on freeways and off the line its just great
the turbo curently fitted will go up to 30psi boost if its needed 5psi its barley working
