    On another note. Got a PO303 code again. Damn it. Coil packs are new and wires. So will do plugs next.

    Could it be a bad injector?

    yeah that is certainly an option. Especially with my high miles. Hoping not. But will see.

    I recently sent mine of to LCE for servicing. They improved the flow in 3 of em and identified #4 as bad, which explained the intermittent P0304 I was getting. Haven't had an issue since so far.

    I played around for a bit with mine too. Landed on where I have it installed as it feeds into the console to run wires nicely. Also placed blue sea fuse box in bottom of console to run other usb/12v/etc ports to back side of console.

    I’ve held some of those cheaper clear ones. And they felt like garage! Lol I’m sure there is some good ones tho, I just wanted a sure thing and to be done with it.

    99' Tacoma 2.4L throttle body spacer installed. Not sure if i feel anything different on acceleration like i am supposed to. Supplier said i should feel a slight difference in every gear upon acceleration. I thought i would install anything to help the lack of overall power. Might do headers next just to waste money and see what happens with performance.

    Thats a good strategy, might as well do the intake manifold spacer while you're at it.

    Don't forget to add the gofast stickers

    I was thinking of adding stick-on vents for extra air flow and horsepower.

    Imo those throttle spacers are a waste of money and don't do anything.
    An exhaust header will do you the most good. I'm told those make a noticeable difference in the 2rz and 3rz motors. I have one on order for mine.

    You're not gonna get any noticeable power out of any of that stuff, supercharge or turbo it

    replaced the stock windshield washer sprayers with ones from an odysee - but i'm a dodo and got the wrong ones that don't adjust spray angle so i only hit the bottom of the wipers when they're down. oops. ordered the correct ones, a $20 mistake but so it goes...will be excited to have a more even spritz

    Makes a difference in the sound at least.
