Here you go Daniel. The boost controller and stuff will match anything that's lighted up blue.

P.S. You can't really tell since it's dark, but the boost controller and turbo timer is angled towards me hence their funny positions.

Haha sorry Daniel, I don't. My friend from Autobarn can get them for about $450 if you're interested?
Dude I'll go take a picture of them later at night. It's really ugly during the day because of where it's currently residing.. :-(

I got mine from Ebay for a lot more than that but at least it's BLACK!



black one is 360 + shipping from Nengun.

it's like 27 bucks to vic. Don't know about Perth as it only tells you the price to your door.
I'd say you'd get it delivered for about 400, not bad price i don't think.

That's really cheap. If only I had found out about it earlier..

Hugh, my friend from Autobarn doesn't get it through his store. He gets them from a friend of a friend, etc.

It's not really needed Daniel. Unless you feel the urge and want to up the boost for some tyre shredding fun!

Haha Vinh... I can do that for ya !!!! :-) Just set the gain UP SO FAR.. Set the limiters to like 40psi and watch em explode.

ONly problem is, they may destroy your engine,lol. SO best not to try and kill them off. Just change them before they do.

Vinh, boost them up to like 20psi, do a few hard runs somewhere and turn off the car right away. Actually just take out the oil supply from the turbos altogether. Oh and through something in the intake for good measure. Let's test how good Toyota thinks they are muhahaha!

They're a pretty good price! There's some cheap stuff going around online. Haven't even picked up my soarer yet and I've already ordered a front mount kit and the GReddy boost controller, next up, 1.5 way LSD centre!

Hahaha get stuffed! I don't want my turbo's to crack and get pieces caught up in my engine somewhere. The car's only done 78,000KM's so I'll pretty much have a long wait ahead before my turbos act up. I'm already running on 1 bar, but I hardly ever hit the 14 pound mark..

15PSI according to my boost gauge, but I think a piece of slag from the intercooler welding actually hit the blades and caused that. I did 3 full boost fangs after finally welding up my intercooler pipes, and it destroyed itself on the 3rd.

Steelies have been tops, getting used to them now. Itching to run the car again!! They do make a fair bit of a whining noise though, has anyone else had that issue with theirs? Maybe my new turbos got overboosted a few times and were damaged?
They sound crazy when they spool though :-)
