    Project Thread Toyota Land Cruiser Turbo

    Toysrme I love you man. Ok concerning the PCV: I realy like the check valve idea. I may go with that in the future but I'm in a hurry and the safari turbo system just takes the pcv to pre compressor to take advantage of that little bit of vacume-Im going to go this route for now-there havn't...

    Thanks for the replies Concerning my turbo design. I am not looking for incredible gains-300hp from this 221 hp motor is all I am looking for. I did some great weld prep and am a good mig welder.
