You need at least a 2.5" dump pipe off the back of the turbo for a start preferably a 3", then either 2.5" system or go up to 3".
Your pumping in so much more air the exhaust gases have to come out somewhere.

Turning the end of the snorkel backwards also seems to work to fix this sometimes, no forced induction to create air pressure.

the top front hoop would be in your line of vision and therefore it would have to come off. Also the eyebolts are past the furthermost front part of the "new Bumberbar" and would also need removing to make it legal.

And now, maybe for part 2. As I was passing a fixed flash for cash in NSW, on the Pacific Highway, the thing flashed, twice. It was a 50k zone, and the max I would have been doing was 51 or 52, certainly not 60 or 70. When I saw the flash out of the corner of my eye, I looked down and saw 52k on ...

Electric motor to engage transfer gears.
Electric over vacuum to engage the ADD system.

Surfs have fixed front hubs not FWH or Auto hubs.

If the electric 4wd control box is missing your not gunna get 4wd.

Thanks for that, the old 8 ohm speakers are out of an Excavator, checked the voltage of the unit (radio only type ) and is 12v not 24v.
Old speakers are 20w max audio and 8w normal audible, the outer cushion has gone hard in one area and the speakers crackles that bad you just can't listen to it.

It will be either the pitman or the idler arm is bent, unless you know what it looks like when it is in good condition it will be hard to pick unless it is hitting the chassis as suggested.
I'm betting idler arm.

Go for a 3" dump pipe off the turbo then a 3" mandrel bent system back with a small free flow muffler to keep it legal in the noise department.
