ARCHIVE Wits' End Turbo Test Mule #3- no cartwheeling allowed (12 Viewers)

[NLXTACY]

Finally got a check engine light. PO130 and PO171. Knew exactly what it was because I was given a new intake hose from the PO but never put it on since there was no CEL at the time.

Well after a 2950 trip it finally gave up the ghost. But it’s funny, upon doing the autopsy I found something that may make me rethink the turbo. Why am I going thru all of this headache when I could just transfer this power multiplier to the new intake hose!!?!

...that will be on the truck for all of two weeks?

Bonus, the PO didn't use that as a sales enhancement?!

No that’s what the new K&N filter was for

Why turbo it when it basically has a Turbonator already? Does this now qualify as a twin-turbo option?

I always love the little surprises when you acquire a new-to-you used rig.

So....that little whirly in the intake was getting you that great gas mileage? (trying to keep a straight face)

So are you doing cartwheels from finding that awesomeness in your new car?

Might have been because the wife was with him and calmed his foot .

Sooooo true.

And if you think you find ‘doozies’ in cars - try boats.

I swear, people wire boats like they think there’s a marine AAA club.

Come on Joey!
Everyone knows you need three of those in series to beat a turbo.
Put some magnets on the gas lines too to align the fuel molecules and SEMA won't know what hit em!

 

[junior80]

Triple Hiclones is the only way forward.

 

[1973Guppie]

Also add the wooden clip-on clothes pins to the fuel line. It help gas mileage.

I never had any luck with the clip - maybe mine was a inferior non-OEM one.
Or maybe I had the wrong PN# one for my 1FZ, IDK.
===However, the magnets taped to the fuel line added an unbelievable MPG increase................


-Operative word being “unbelievable”.

Wait what is that real

It should be a source of pride you don’t know what it is.
It’s a “airflow vortex corrector” - the scam was a whirling pattern to the air was going to promote better MPG’s.

That was to help vapor lock, and kinda, sorta did. I can’t say I miss carburetors.
