Re: rust in a 96 hilux
not sure how much it would be to repair it but i think it might be cheaper to buy a second hand door with no rust then u dont need to worry about colour matching paint

Re: WHERE DO I TAP IN A t FOR MY BOOST GUAGE????
You just put that fitting in any of the turbo charges pipes. (after the turbo, but before the inlet manifold) Preferably after the intercooler but it should only make .5-1psi difference anyway. Just leave the bleed setup as is, trust me. It runs a perfectly safe level of boost for that motor. The ...

Re: WHERE DO I TAP IN A t FOR MY BOOST GUAGE????
Swap Northside 4X4's fitting for the one in the intake pipe pre-turbo. If I understand it correctly, it allows a little of the boost pressure to bleed off (back into intake so it's not lost) to make the wastegate actuator think it's not makeing as much boost, so will open later creating higher ...

Re: WHERE DO I TAP IN A t FOR MY BOOST GUAGE????
Since you should have a boost gauge before you started playing with it, dosen't look like there is any adjustment if it's boosting too much/not enough. Is there another part (bleed valve) that's not pictured to allow for this ? thats how it was setup wen i bought it so thought id fit a boost guage ...

Re: WHERE DO I TAP IN A t FOR MY BOOST GUAGE????
That setup is to increase boost pressure. The wastegate springs on those things are very soft hence the constant bleed off back to the vacuum side. Best practice is never to read boost from a circuit that has a bleed off effect. So ideally you will remove one of the boosted/charge pipes, drill and ...

that is exactly wat i thought to and i have a boost guage on its way.but remove the pipe that is fed into the air intake before the turbo will this raise the exhaust gas temperature by any chance?or cause any damage to the engine at all? cheers
