my car has been to 3 shops for a richness problem it has at full boost. 2 had no clue what to do, and 1 just kept trying to cheat me out of my money. do any of you guys know trust worthy shops anywhere between southern springs and southern denver that know what they are doing with a 7m? i miss my car actually pulling in boost...right now it just backs off with anything more than 2 psi and it kills me to see it running so sadly :cry:

And what shops were those?

I was a Toyota tech in Denver for some time. It would have taken me a couple of seconds to pull out my home made jumper wire and pulled codes. I would see a 34, which is abnormal turbocharger problem, and starting looking for the intake leak that you have. That will be .5 for diagnostic. Fixing the leak, if it is not obvious, will be straight time. Otherwise I will give you the estimate(tenths) on changing the bad hose(s).

id rather not discredit the shops that didnt know what they were doing, and the one who tried to cheat me out of my money has since gone out of buisness. but what part of denver?
