TKGN1 '98 build

This is a great build and nice that you can do it all yourself!

 

Well your truck looks great, I am in the process of deciding on 5100's and 5 leaf pack or OME front setup with 5 leaf pack for ~2" all around. Thanks!

 

Thanks, its a fun hobby for me! My mom told my wife "its better to have a husband in the garage than at the bar". Not sure if my wife believes that or not.

Thanks
I'm really happy with the ride quality of the 5100s and the AALs, no issues so far.

You and me both!!

 

No shit, tell my wife that while you are at it.

 

Update on how the S/C is doing. I'm noting this in my build just as an FYI to others who are on the fence as to go S/C or not due to not knowing if they will need other mods to support the S/C:
Contrary to what I have read about needing wideband and 7th injector, ect, I have not had any issues with detonation so far. I'm sure their are cases where additional upgrades are needed to prevent detonation but running 93 octane on 6 lbs of boost has shown no down sides to my S/C install. I'm not discrediting anybody who has gone the 7th injector/AFR management/ect route, just putting it out there that a S/C can be installed just the way it came from the dealer with no down sides. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having supporting mods or an AFR gauge to monitor what is going on and it is most likely a good idea in general, I have wideband/ FAST standalone on my turbo car, so I am in full support of tuning equipment.
I have two other vehicles that are turboed, and have lost motors due to detonation, but given the lower boost on this application I feel as though this setup is safe.
HTH

 

Thanks
That would definately be a nice Santa suprise.
I would imagine your Taco would haul balls with a S/C!

Thanks again
I cleaned it pretty well when I did the timing belt, a pressure washer and a bottle of simple green does wonders.

 

where did you get this kit? and so far has it been working ok for you?

 

The kit I installed is working with no problems.
