Beautiful setup! Did you install a TRD kit, or was that factory setup?

Not the original owner, I bought it wrecked and rebuilt the front so I don't know how it was installed, but from the Toyota history I think it was bought that way. Nothing shows that it was added later.
Planning to change power steering fluid this weekend while watching football and NASCAR in the garage. The brake fluid is clear. The picture was taken in the garage without the big lights on so it looks darker.
Here are the decals under the hood.

Found another turbo kit on ebay. Similar to the one I posted a page back, but comes with more accessories. Dirt cheap at $1600.

The point? For me it would be to make the 5th gen guys w/ superchargers drool. That, and nobody has really modified these V8s though things are catching up with the new headers and Y pipes people are starting to mess with. I think these engines are still bulletproof with a supercharger at 5 psi and could handle a good amount of power past that if somebody had the cash.

I wonder if they actually test-fitted it on a 4Runner and Landcruiser? The headers look a lot like the generic shorties for 00-04 V8 Tundras, same triangular cat flanges with 2 flat and one curved side. From what I've read here the Tundra headers require mods to the steering shaft to fit them on a 4Runner.
Someone needs to modify a Y-pipe with a turbo flange at the end for a remote turbo setup

Wow, that's a steal! If I wasn't in the middle of a SAS, I could really be tempted. Nice find!

I really like the technical term used for how much additional horse power one can expect from
this kit!!!:thumb:
This package has all new quality parts that is capable of producing up to tons of horsepower with supporting modifications. This is the most complete package available compared to others at an affordable price.

Burtman has one. I'm working with him for mine and it will fit 05-09 and they're working on one for 03-04 too around $3,800. See Burtman Industries facebook page there are some photos and a video there
I just checked. $3800 is pre-order from back in April.
List price is $4,450 + shipping
URD is $5785, but comes with a new supercharger, larger injectors, tuning, and an intercooler.
Seems Burtman is giving bare minimum. And no tuning on a VVT engine? Sounds like a bad idea.

There is tuning that page doesn't get updated much, contact them for more info. This kit is designed as more of a plug and play kit where you don't need to do a ton of extra mods to keep things running. Of course you can up the pulley later but then much more robust bottom end will be needed. This is for those than don't want keep fidgeting. I've gone over this a lot and am already getting close to 4 more mpg with the headers!
Your MPG calculations by hand? Street or HWY or both? What were you getting before and after the Headers?
Thinking about doing them, but trying to decide on priorities.
Thanks.

By hand? lol, that's the only way. I never use a trip computer cause I'm old school. I'm getting almost 4 more mpg with the Doug Thorley Long Tubes. Not talking about the S/C here.
Oh there's a group buy going on right now for a special premium version of these headers which I'd get on if you haven't yet!
Group buy for Doug Thorley PREMIUM VERSION headers, need 20 people!
