    They look good, but don't function yet.

    With much-appreciated advice from several of you, I did most of the mechanical (e.g., gauge pod alteration, boost sensor install, harness routing through the firewall, etc) today. Need to pickup the taps, fuses, etc to wire them up; and get the O2 sensor bung welded-in. May need an AFR harness extension too. Thanks to everyone for their invaluable advice on this project!

    I'm still on stock exhaust so I just drilled a hole and attached a clamp on bung for mine. Whenever I get a proper exhaust I'll do it properly.

    Cheap DIY option if you're so inclined.

    I believe the FJ is only 07-09. Unless perhaps there were a few stragglers into '10.

    I have seen it from AEM. The clamp on bung. Is that whom you purchased?

    It is, just have to buy the correct size. Has a soft crush metal gasket to seal. Has worked fine so far. I did a single bung just after the merge and haven't had my sensor cook to death yet (knock on wood) in two years.

    My shit is all stock.
    I was working off of memory. Possibly slightly beer "enhanced" memory.

    Now that I look at it. It'll fit the roller rocker motor too. So, all 1gr. Early and late.

    You tell me how real it gets when those turbos go into oil starvation due to faulty internal engine design. :D
