Here's a $33 Intake i got off ebay. Wasn't that hard to install, just had some issues fitting the mounts that they gave me. I noticed very little with it though. Throttle response was slightly better, but when you get the rpm's up to 3 grand it felt like there was a turbo kicking in. And it does make a badass roaring sound.
If you want to go the cheapest route, that's what I'd suggest. And here's the linkhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/TACOMA-4-RUNNER-PICKUP-3-0L-V6-COLD-AIR-INTAKE-89-95-/300542991204?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item45f9c21b64#ht_3912wt_1396

I know you said that you had troubles with the mounts, but what exactly did you have to do? i'm getting one of those intakes and i just wanna know how easy it is.

Thanks.

You know what, I've got a big swim meet tomorrow and I'm gunna be busy all day. But on Sunday I'll take a bunch of pictures and show you how I put it in and how I mounted it in a post. It's soooo easy to do so I wouldn't worry about it.

You should get an instructions sheet with the intake, but here's some things to think about.

This is what the intake looks taken out. It's just a couple bolts plus the attached hoses holding it in there.

This part is mostly just mostly common sense. The new metal hose they give you will attach to the original tubing on the throttle body, then will attach to the mass airflow sensor (square to circle) converter, then to the blue rubber adapter to the new air filter.
And this is where the vacuum lines go to instead the stock airbox.

As for the mounting.. I originally just used one of the metal extended mounting bracket they gave me and "willy-digged" the thing on there in my own way. And as I was out there taking pictures of everything, I notices my mount snapped off! But because of where it is, it's just sitting in there and not moving around much. I'll end up making my own little bracket for it eventually.

The rest is explained in the directions. Pretty easy install.

The ebay ones are a good deal. Just put a k&n on it and your golden unless you drive through water.

Hi, how did you connect your mass airflow sensor to the eBay aftermarket intake?

 

[Vancmann]

Well, did some searching and figured it out how you did it. Was hoping anyone knew if the sensor itself unscrewed from the assembly and connected to the aftermarket tube somehow?

if you've got a 3.0, then you dont have a mass air flow, you have a vane air flow meter, and so it is all one big "sensor", and it doesnt get any smaller than it already is. You can move it around and position it to better fit a cone filter if you want, but don't try and take it apart.

If you are looking for an idea of what some people have done, search for "ISR mod" (intake silencer removal) and that should get your started.

The intakes come with an adapter.
