Awesome work. I've never liked the idea of a turbo because of the high cost of the STS kit. $1,000 is an amazing price. Looks like you do good clean work too.

Thanks. I know the 3.4 is an awesome engine and lasts forever but after owning a 4.7 tundra before this thing I really miss the power. So I figured a turbocharger would be my best bet to wake up the 4runner, and by doing it all myself it would be way cheaper than a bolt on kit or a supercharger.
Probably not. Nobody around here has one, had my racecar for 5 years now and never been on a dyno. General rule with turbo's is 10hp for every pound of boost so should be somewhere around 250hp at 7psi.
Subbed! this is awesome i would really like a write up, thank you for bringing the turbo back for the 4runners, we had a guy who turbo it a while back but he blew the motor so having another one is great

Hopefully I will have better luck than previous turbo guy.
Nice work on the turbo setup so far. I skimmed through the build last night, but I don't remember seeing what kind of turbo you're using? What are the specs on it?
I looked at Squire's setups a looooong time ago, and considered that setup, but I just don't see a turbo's powerband being as useable on a truck as a that of a supercharger.

Regarding ^^^^.... All I can say, and I'm sure you already know, is you'd better keep your eyes off the boost controller. Put it in a locked box and throw away the key... otherwise it'll just be a matter of time.
I'll just go to 8 psi...
Ok, ok, just one more, 9psi... but THAT'S IT!!
(a month later)
10 psi will be plenty... I'll stop there.

T04e, 63ar, 57 trim, it might be inefficient at high rpm but it spools right off idle. I have only turbocharged race cars so this kind of application is new to me, hopefully it works out.
