    Man and I thought I was sold on a second gen super charger, after seeing this. Hummmmm.......

    How is the low end power with this turbo set up?

    :rofl:

    Been pretty busy and haven't checked here in a bit.

    Low end power isn't going to be quite as much as the supercharger but it hits full boost at about 2500rpm. You could also go with a little smaller turbo and it would spool sooner.

    As for this vs the supercharger, its a lot more work than a SC but the gains are a lot more as well. If you want something you can throw on it a day and not have any surprises, i'd probably still go with the SC. If you want to have a crazy awesome fast 4Runner, do a turbo :D

    Is that 2500rpm with or without an ALS?

    Hey it's Dylan from RTI... (See what I did there :) it's gonna stick). You need to stop taunting me with the boost photos. You know I want the boost !

    Dylan, 4Runner looks sweet! Other than injectors did you do any other engine mods? Rods? What kind of boost are you running?

    Without. No anti-lag on this setup

    You may not want to take a ride in it then :laughing:

    Internals are stock with about 225k on it. Not planning on doing anything with that unless i blow up a couple of motors. Currently running about 9-10psi at Colorado elevation which translates to about 6-7 psi. This turbo has an internal wastegate but i'm not a huge fan of it so i may end up doing a external at some point.

    So if you look into that, you could make full boost at idle! :)

    I remember seeing this at that Tw Colorado meet at rock bottom. I remember you talking about this. Glad it is coming to fruition!
