Us 11b guys are a little crazy at times and can get a little sick as well lol... Been thinking about jumping ship and going 18x(d/b) but idk the "having a family" is not so conducive to that life... I just don't know if I would do well with it or not.

Just wanted to make a little documentation here about the turbo build because there was some scepticism on building a turbo system for only $800. I have had lots of messages, emails, and pm's regarding this from here, youtube and other forums I post on. So it's been about 5 months now and performs flawless (so far) everyday, and I try to abuse it everyday. No complaints or problems yet including: no oil consumption, oil leaks, no detonation/pinging, increased fuel mileage, nothing broken, and it hasn't blown up yet.
Haven't been easy on it either and I still drive like this everyday, except it's on pavement during the week.

So it's done besides everything being in a temporary enclosure (don't hate on the pill box, I said temporary). The board works, the logic works, the dimmer works, it should shift gears, so it shouldn't be long until it can see it's first real test drive.

Does it have an override that automatically downshifts for you? Or will you have to do it every time?

Nothing automatic about it, the left paddle will downshift.

Just curious. I know that Subaru's have that feature and thought it might be cool to add in.

So Im pretty sure Ive asked this before, but . . . have you ever considered doing a "How to build a custom 3rd gen 4runner turbo system for dummies" writeup. Im pretty sure you would be an instant forum legend. I mean you wouldnt have to give it that exact title or anything . . .

I pretty much covered all the steps in my build thread, I guess I could compile everything together just haven't had the time. Also there are so many different ways to do it, it's kind of just a guideline in a way. Feel free to ask any questions though, it's a pretty basic system.

The idea was to make the automatic trans completely manual controlled, that's why something like that wasn't implemented. It will not shift up or down or kickdown into passing gear or anything unless I tell it to.

That is so awesome! is it bad that I want a paddle shifter in mine and I have a manual! LOL
ohh, you think u could do a push button ignition? I wonder how I could have a push button ignition and keep people from stealing my truck?
