What exhaust system do you have? Some old school air research systems used to use restricted exhaust systems to limit boost ie. holden 202. Are you sure the gauge is good? Can you swap it with a mate to check? Did you actually take the wastgate out or just the actuator and wire the wastgate closed ...

Thanks

Pics wanted of tonneau cutout for roll bar.
Hi all.
I just picked up a second hand Tonneau for my Hilux and since the missus has industrial sewing machines I am keen to see how the cut out for roll bars should be done.
Send to grepin@internode.on.net if posting here is too hard.
Thanks in advance.

Do Boss kits cancel the indicator.
Just bolted on a borrowed SAAS old school wheel to my Lux however the Boss kit on it doesnt cancel the indicator. Have I put it on wrong or is this the way they work.
Thanks

Want Tonneau but no hooks.
Just got a xtra cab Hilux and want to fit a Tonneau. I have no hooks and am wondering what my best option is. Could probably have a go myself but could get messy. I imagine Toyota would be expensive. Its a bit of a roughy so dont want to pay top dollar. What have other people done?
Thanks

Could be wrong, but don't think a 2.8 was an origonal motor in a 88 hilux. Yeah the motor has been put in later its from a 96 vehicle. Everything is hooked up like the aircon and power steer. I am told its all legit and complied. Thats what I like about this vehicle. Not sure if at $6K its too much ...

Deciding on 4wd.
I drove an 89 Landcruiser Sahara 4.2 TD the other day and am wondering how it compares to a TD 2.5 Pajero. I will be wanting to tow a 1.2 ton boat short ranges and beach work. Pajeros can be had for around $5K and the Landcruisers are about $7-8K in turb diesel.
Thanks
