What do you need to know? Or you just need pics.

Pics would be great. I just like to see the end result to make sure that I haven't missed any details of the set-up.

A friends Surf has the complete top end of a 2LT-E bolted onto a 2.8 bottom end. I 'd be sure to re-jig the pump to compensate for the larger capacity though, as his doesn't pull up hills as good as it should, I think,

He and another 2.4 surf run 35" boots, but the 2.4 pulls better, with a WRX 'cooler, hi-flowed turbo, and re-jigged pump. pump mod is exy though....

Cheers,

Pat

Joe Burke at did mine, he's fitted quite a few of these to 2.8's and knows his stuff, go talk to him about it, even better just pay him to do it, he likes it better that way :D

I went to do this to mine and the ports and bolt pattern on the manifold was different. Ended up just buying a new one.

My brother just got this done to this hilux today (well i hope it got finished today), i would take pic's for you but he is leavin for Cape York in the morning for 5 weeks. So i guess im on that much help to you.

He has also used the air box off a surf, so that he can fit a 2nd battery. Same setup as in a surf.
