loooks like a turbo to me.....but anyways looks good to me.. not an expert on turbos though

the OBX manifold have been know to crack like the SSAUTOCHROME ones

also you still need some fuel management and an intercooler. once you get an intercooler, you will have to get new/more charge piping too. as io_303 says... watch that manifold, personally i like cast manifolds better because they tend to crack a lot less. all in all... if you have the money go for it.

i wouldnt buy it personally... not because of the setup itself.. but that auction throws up some of my flags.

one shitty, low quality, and from a distance picture. and he only has 7 feedbacks and it looks like he was the buyer, not the seller in those auctions

id pass as well... hit up tacomaturbo.com

i personally know him.. and youll get a similar setup...

no ic...
no manifold...
no ecu...

but he'll include 450's, piping, t3/t4 or 14b, oil lines, couplers etc.

tell em jake sent ya and he'll prolly give you a deal.

thanks guys. I didnt think that kit was gonna be great quality but I figured I might as well post up and let you guys check it out just in case. I'll hit up that tacoma site though. Thanks Inigo!

I guess for now though I'm gonna stick to going the custom route. God damn I can't tell you how many hours of research I've put into this now. lol

so are you swapping or boosting?!?!?!?!?!

 

[Revolver]

CRP Log manifold is the best low buck turbo-mani you can buy.

so are you swapping or boosting?!?!?!?!?!

gets confusing, doesnt it Todd? lol

Swap became too much hassle. Ended up not having enough cash.. and s**t.. even if I did.. I couldnt find all of the damn parts. So I opted to take the quicker, easier, cheaper.. and more fun route. lol

Not to mention..... since I'm probably building my own kit.. I have been doing so much research.. and I've learned a LOT about forced induction.. which is pretty cool to me.
