98 TRD 3.4L Turbo , Methanol , LT

That's an awesome wrap color? How does it hold up to pin stripes from bushes and such?

 

What amber led's are those under your headlights?

 

I sprayed it in my garage with a harbor freight hvlp. Came out amazing it color shifts 5 colors in a matte finish. Couple small scratches from my mountain bike but holding up near flawless.

 

Those are a brown like vinyl reflective sticker. I thought they were cool I dunno. Safety

 

I finally got most the bugs out of my vaccum system. Since installing the turbo some things were definitely wrong. I was amazed to see the amount of gremlins a wrongly routed vaccum system can cause. I'm talking the steering, braking, front diff engagement and operation, CV axle trouble, oil blow by, poor ebc operation, acceleration, holding boost pressure, probably more I'm forgetting. Since re-routing it drives like OEM again. But with a turbo. Even the turbo is working smoother. Absolutely mind blowing what that vaccum system does. Putting in a new charcoal canister for emissions mine had oil in it. Over the last week I added a GPS system, ladder rack, running boards, bumper stinger, redid the electrical with distribution blocks, reconfigured the vaccum system, and put in a new center console. Hate to say this but I almost enjoy it more now than my CTS-V. Getting compliments and stares everywhere I go. Always cool when someone appreciates your hard work.

 

you are now making me buy methods..... i hate you

 

what did you have routed wrong?

 

Everybody is asking the same question. Inquiring minds want to know.

 

A few things man omg. The PCV was routed to tb input with no check valve. So the flow was hitting head on at some point and I couldn't hold more than like 8lbs of boost or so. The boost psi was pushing back into the pcv. It was throwing the ebc off so bad too. On the back side also I had the valley cover exit going to the charcoal canister somewhere with a breather. That breather was blowing oil. I knew something was bad. Now I have the catch can in. The pcv and valley T to go to the catch can the Ts again with check valves to TB input and the filter breather line off the air filter and charcoal box. Dunno if that makes any sense. But everything is a thousand times better. I put in a new charcoal box too because old one was flooded with oil.

 

Yea man at first I was unsure but I'm liking them pretty good at this point

 

Can anyone show me a picture of this output shaft on the passenger side of the front diff? I think mine rotated some how or my front diff mount is massively bent on the right. When I mount my diff the right side goes crazy high and is way wrong. Not sure if it's from the axle breaking that pushed the diff all crazy or what. Or do they make a bigger heavy duty output shaft?

Have you noticed any difference in cooling or engine bay temp between the two hood you’ve had?

 

For the love of tacos

 

Coming to check and see how your Interweb-friends are doing???

 

Done!

 

Looks clean

 

Redoing ac crap ton on my build. Gauges in the pillar. Double din touch ATOTO. Redoing all wiring. Putting in a power sunroof. Painting back to white but with some flake in it.
