    There are a lot of turbo 3RZ running around. A few making 180whp on otherwise stock motors and low 5psi which will leave a 3.4 in the dust while getting MPG in the 20's

    This kit is very affordable - koracing.net/viewproduct.php?folder=103&product=479

    Hope you love it. Been riding same engine since 1995.6. Hope you have as little problem as I have! Is it a reg cab? Also just rode in turbo charged 2.7 and was blown away at the difference. Never had any idea how much different those extra ponies would affect performance.(unbelievable) Might go that direction one day in the near future.lol

    Yup single cab so far so good it kick butt! Id love to turbo charge it but it seems like a ton of work, supercharging may be in the future but even stock kicks butt
