Pull your turbo, back to your NA 3B and close this thread ..

On a serius note: Josh, time you get your pyro installed and let us know what happen there ..

okay, bring me up to speed...
this is what i have gathered from reading this thread.
you installed a turbo
you reused most of your orignal exhaust system
you do not have a pyro installed yet
you have not cranked up your fuel yet
you are experiencing over heating on long hills

is this correct?

Yes except the exhaust is now something along the lines of a 2.5" straight short pipe. It's really wide and really short with only one real bend. It's also really loud... but not like engine loud... it's quite high pitched.

An aircraft EGT gauge is on its way to me that will have a dual reading, EGT on one side and intake air temp on the other. Only thing is they have clamp style probes... I asked him for screw in but I guess he's decided I'd be better off with clamp style. What's the disadvantage here?

you are not experiencing any of what that setup can accomplish SAFELY.

I know I'm an idiot. Hopefully I won't be scrounging for a head and rebuild kit anytime soon...

OK OK OK... I want a jet powered canoe!

What are we all doing messing about with landcruisers?! With global warming these things are what will be ruling the streets in a few years time!
