    Before dropping big money on a turbo guess just get a Chinese clone for $200. Just a thought.

    So slightly off topic but there are some good thinkers in here..

    Anyone know of a good 12v Pwm fan controller?

    Want to switch out the crank fan on wifes 2nd gen to a Camaro or similar (open to ideas).

    Basically its hot af here in Az and Id like the fan speed to be higher when shes at idle/low speed stop and go. Ac is nice at highway or city street speeds. Just had it charged. No leaks (bad schrader).

    Maybe I just cheap out and add a E fan to the front of condenser, maybe not.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I could make one pretty easy with an Arduino, temp probe (could scan CANbus for vehicle temp too but that's more involved), and the usual Bosch fan control unit from a modern car. What kinda car though, might have some features built in we can work with...

    That G30-770 is only a few mm larger than the turbo in my 2rz. Realistically I can only make about 400whp on pump gas. For 3x the price of mine I'm sure it spools up faster and has more up top.
