Why do you brag about a lazy V8? Accordingly with the official spec, a V8 1UZ has less power and torque figure...I guess if I wanna tear down a house, I wouldn't use my 1JZ to pull her down. I love him too much to make him dirty ))))

My tt would have done that no worries.. with the 6.5 inch dump i had in there it made 180rwkws and its peak torque of 580nm at just 2800rpm! And with just a handfull of mods to get to that point makes the tt a much better upgradable option.

I'm with Kurt on this. When it comes to pulling power, the 1uz is crap compared to a 1jz!
My daily is a tweaked 1uz with rush headers, ecu, etc. I have towed a trailer full of crushed rock with it, even a soarer on a trailer. It did it but you could feel it was working hard. I tried towing the same load in a 1jz with stock twins and exhaust. The 1jz did it with ease! Hardest part was taking off without shredding the tyres. I love my 1uz but have no illusions of it ever being a match for the 1jz when it comes to torque or power! Unless I supercharge it.

Isn't it bad to be towing with a petrol turbo. You create load and the turbo is always in a situation of being spooled up. I've heard this before but not sure how accurate it is.
