    Question to the experts here should I use a single boost controller solenoid or 2 one for each side?

    Then you have a good start. He'd be the guy to know.

    I'll defiantly keep a watch on this thread. Good luck!

    Lol no oil supply lines yet, is wide so it can fit in the truck and not be over the hood.here are the specs for the turbos. They are really some dummy turbos for now. No internals yet all stock. Planing on getting it running first then build the engine. Shooting for 900-1000 hp when is re-done.IMG_1625.jpg

    If you actually plan to go through with it.
    No time better than now to build the engine. Forged internals are a must.
    Unless you have a spare engine, and just want to see "how much" a stock engine will hold?

    Its been a long time and would like to see it run before i go spending another 15k on it. For now it is going to run on 5lbs of boost thats it, i will most likely end up getting another engine and building it,then swap it.

    Stock auto transmission is only gonna be good for about half what your end goal is too. But it would be awesome to have an engine built for 900 hp that only made 450, and then all the stuff you break will be easy to get to lol, very Toyota

    Is that the Mt that comes with the 1gr? I don't know a ton about those, bug I'm going to say it will hold slightly less than the auto; being that the a750 was designed for the 4.7 v8 originally which also saw a limited run trd SC iirc; pure speculation, but I know tor swapped in a t56

    Yes thats the original trans. I am fully aware that it is the weak point i know that when i build the engine simultaneously will have to change the trans.

    I'm no expert and taking an educated guess....but I see dual wastegates so I would think 2x EBCs for precise/progressive boost tuning.
