Distributor cap... EVEN with 4 runner cap... hits bad... gonna have to think about this.

Missing a few small things that shouldnt be too much longer to get. Aiming for 320 ish on stock auto til i put together a 5 spd swap. Have a dyno at the shop so tuning will be easy.

Its the xspower t-70 kit... .70 cold side .96 hot side

Flaming aside, ive heard way more positive than negative about it and it all looks good to me. Built lots of boosted cars here and there and Im confident in this setup.

i'm running similar setup as yours. since i can't run the turbo intake, i just put a piece of mesh there. i could've cut the flange off and clock it and reweld it but didn't want to go through all that hassle and getting a custom downpipe made etc.

SaFC and stock fuel, compression... yada yada. Wide band and a boost gauge. Simple as hell.

You could go for more if you want but if lots of people have run 700 or so on safc

Yeah I've heard a lot of good things about that kit as well, especially from the NA-T supra guys. Good luck man keep us updated.
