    Didn’t you also have issues with Denso MAFs until you put a OEM in?

    I’ll have to try OEM. Why wouldn’t a Denso MAF work like a Denison/Toyota MAF?

    I don't know, but the Desno I had, had the same issues but not as bad with high fuel trims. OEM MAF fuel trims are perfect

    They are obviously different looking at the two side by side

    Hmmm, my DENSO/Volvo MAF hasn't given me any issues. Then again, I'm not monitoring my fuel trims.

    That setup is working fine for me too.

    The other MAF my AFR was way off and
    at one point I had a size 6 nozzle for the methanol to keep my AFR correct.

    Now I am back to a size 2 nozzle and is still
    running abit rich.

    So the other MAFs were reading incorrectly.

    Everything is golden now :)

    now you just need something to control the bypass valve to open it up at a certain rpm and let that turbo breath some real air into that engine

    Ah, good idea. Where'd the body plugs come from? For the lazy of us...:rolleyes:

    Any photos of the GM to TC gusset clearance? We had a little bit of room on Mike's truck but it would require a slightly shorter alt belt.

    the 3rd gen taco radios are much larger than the double din or the 200mm din that toyota uses in my tundra.

    the radio can easily be made to work functionality wise. but fitting it would be difficult. you can fit a toyota 86 radio with some trimming.. just look up the scion radio upgrade for the tacomas. (its old. but its that size radio) you can get the harness to adapt the old system to the new radio directly from toyota
