    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I guess there could be one, if people are interested I'll make one. You thinking about going stand alone computer for MPG gain... I suppose with current gas prices that actually could pay off after some fillups

    Back when it first came out and there was all the initial hype, I tried but I just couldn't get into it after the first couple episodes. Maybe should've given it more time, I dunno. Felt too much like a kids show

    I've watched it up to the last 2 episodes which were apparently just released.

    I digged it, the entire concept of a dark parallel reality was fascinating to me lol

    that's kinda why I feel like I didn't give it enough time to get into it. From what I hear it sounds like something I'd really like.

    Have you seen Dark on Netflix? Talk about dark parallel realities, it's intense. Killer soundtrack. It's German but dubbed in English too

    making fun of those HGTV shows where realtors help people find their dream houses, the "real life" people always have weird jobs with ridiculously high budgets

    it's been a while since I watched S1 of Stranger Things but I think I understand where you're coming from. It starts off kind of like a nancy drew oriented light mystery but it definitely gets darker as the show goes on

    I'm very curious about what you're doing and what results you see. Odds are pretty slim that I'd try to build something similar myself (too cheap and unmotivated), but I love the idea of modding with efficiency in mind.

    Are you going to try for low boost on regular gas to keep things extra cheap?

    The final episode of this season was pretty good but it's long just over 2 hours. Looks like there will be one more season.

    I have no doubt that I can run 5ish PSI with the right timing on 87, will make more power than stock but probably not worth it alone. Cool part of the Haltech is on the fly map switching. So I can flip a switch and turn boost and timing down for 87, or flip it back and fly higher on 91 and the 12psi I plan to typically run. But I figured before the turbo kit goes on I can really get an NA tune banged out with the haltech and see what it is capable of squeezing. I know I can run it lean on the highway at cruising load safely and that will take a ton of fuel out immediately but there are other places I'm sure I can too. I also plan to do an NA power tune, run 91, crank the timing and see if the thing was already optimal or if Toyota left power on the table.
