    Opinions needed! What should I buy next? Bushwacker cutouts, halo projector headlights? Or save up for a newer 3.4? Or start buying miscalaneus parts to get the turbo rolling, or a magnaflow 18 or 14 inch?

    That's a wide range of prices there.

    IMO go with a newer 3.4

    With 306k I would slowly start replacing stuff. Motor, bushings, bearings, gears, probably transmission too if you can get a motor tranny combo.

    Your not going to be ale to turbo that motor safely.

    Don't get a magnaflow till the turbo. As if you understand turbos at all you want as little back pressure as possible behind it. Mufflers create back pressure.

    Bushwhackers can wait till you have wider tires.

    Lights are lights.

    Replace the motor.

    Why not go with an LS1 (or similar) swap if you're going to buy a new engine and turbo it? You will have so much money dumped into a little 3.4l that you could get a mild LS1 and T56.

    The only thing i could really see is to keep it kinda original, just like me I'm gonna boost my 3rz just to keep it toyota
    I would love to have a boosted ls3 but that can be put in to another vehicle or a different Tacoma down the road just my opinion and what i think

    My engine right now is running absolutely flawless, but yeah its always in the back of my mind that it will blow anytime it damn well feels like it.

    Im dead set on the turbo setup, and I LOVE the 5vz so I dont quite feel like doing an LS1 swap or anything like that.. I want to stick with the 3.4l.

    Thanks for the input boys, ill see how it goes. I might just get the halos, then engine, then finally do the turbo.

    why even run a muffler?? on every turbo car ive ever had i ran a straight pipe(in GA we dont have emissions) but with a cat in place and a turbo the exhaust will be an acceptable level imho

    Took out my driver side headlight to adjust my mini h1 kit. Failed at that, so I aimed both lights a little higher to see what I can get away with. Still have not been flashed and it appears to not be blinding/glaring so I'll stick with it for now. I still need to figure out why my driver side cutoff is not very good though.
