    I really like how the turbo is set up on this Tacoma. Are most turbos tied into the exhaust like that, or is that just a exhaust turbo? I think its pretty cool that it replaces your exhaust and is a snorkel at the same time. Plus you get alot of all time power.

    Much better than a SC IMO, plus a heard you cant run the SC too long or you can wreck the engine.

    If your asking whether turbos are powered by exhaust gases, yes they are.

    Ok so I'm all about turbos (big diesel guy) but what a worthless set up on a off road truck. Tubing that goes thru the fender well. And the turbo lag with that thing mounted that far back. Not to mention running filter tubing thru the bed and toolbox. And all the sticks that are gunna try and rip those oil cooler lines off. Junk IMO

    I'm just wondering how they think they are making more power without a better set of injectors and some programming.

    More fuel plus more air equals more power.
