Oh for sure, I was mostly just joking. 
First test drive after installing the rebuilt turbo had low boost. I thought it was due to some kinking in some of my rubber fittings and an ugly 20 angled welded tube in the mix.
Clocked the turbo a little bit straighter, tried an experiment with a piece of flex pipe to get a smoother more straight shot to the intake, nixed the intercooler and....
HOLY BOOST BATMAN! Right at 20 psi full load. What a difference. I don't ever remember it running this good. EGT 's much lower than they've been in some time.... Picture of the ugly oily flex pipe and my boost gauge below...

Is that a spark plug near your intake? Used to ignite the afterburner?
Be quiet man you'll expose the secret. It's a platinum core plug everyone knows they add more HP.....
Truth be told when I added the turbo I needed to plug that rubber line and an old spark plug is the perfect size. You're the first to ask me about it. Might get some funny responses from people who don't know better.
These pictures show me how much I need to take a trip to the car wash for a inside and out soap and spray. I live on a dirt road, we've got a bit of buildup mixed with all the oil from oil line troubleshooting.
Also of note: the multipitched vibrational whining that would go away when I let off the gas or pushed in the clutch that I thought was coming from my Tcase was actually coming from the old turbo compressor blades grinding on the housing due to bad bearing. Now that's gone and I have the same old "normal" transfer case noise? So Tcase rebuild is no longer immediately required. Looks like springtime Uwharrie camping trip is a go!

I figured that turbo should be good sized for it. Chinacharger causing all sorts of issues.
Rob needs to jump on the $50 junkyard turbo hype train. Mines been pushing 20lbs of boost consistently for 20,000 miles now, still perfectly fine

Nice, I really need to get my upgraded turbo on. That CT26 is just so wrongly sized. 12~13 is about tops.
Sometimes good sometimes not, 3 out of 4 cheap turbos have done well for me now. Perhaps the td04 actually needs to use the water cooling, even with a diesel?, Maybe it needs synthetic oil and not dino oil at 5000 mile changes,. Still a little curious about td05 16 or 20g.

I think that td05 is too big for a 3b. It will be laggy.
What's the chrome cap for on passenger's side, aft of the door? Fill location for something?
There used to be a big fuel tank inside as the French po had a girlfriend in Burkina Fasso when he bought the troopy 15 years ago
. Like so many others he started a “resto” 6 years ago and never saw it trough so I picked it up half dismantled and the aux tank is no longer there , I will remove that extra filler neck.
Started working on a window box for my RHS gull wing Sunday. Suck at woodworkery. Made a poster board template and used 7 metric sh1tt0ns of blue tape to get to this point.
Looks good! You need a 69470-60020 though.
Indeed! Thank you. I'd also like to r/r the other rubber stuff back there... having a hard time finding the part numbers for the below. Any help on those #'s?Looks good! You need a 69470-60020 though.
It looks like 67207-90K00 for the door and 67208-60031 on the body for the rubber cushions.
Thank you-thank you!
