Doesn't look any different than the 64, same housing/manifold. Once the new manifold is on and the hotside is bolted up THEN it'll look different. [SUB]for real, there's no diff[/SUB]

When I bought it:

Right when it got installed/running, stock turbo:

FFIM and big turbo added:

It's upside down, SLS (straight line specialties) made it. Works well for what it is, just wish it was a bit smaller and had a 90* mount so Icould make it a tad cleaner. But, function > form imo.

Nah, I got it from Ebay, just looked the best out of the selection.

Parts have arrived!
1350 injectors!

Scion Radio (hopefully deals with ride harshness/less skipping)

Damn, Steve, did you get a pay raise or are there perks working for Toyota? Nice looking manifold

I've met Steve he's a Baller if ever there were one!

Who else would travel 14000 Km's to do a custom rear view mirror mod?? :runaway:

rofl! Hardly a baller, I'd say more a saver/miser who bides his time...

Actually ended up buying a spare from the dealer in Canberra- only $45... so cheap! I took the mirror stock home and have used it for many sandpaper millings ;)

Nice! I love my Blumax 1350's! (All 4 of them haha)

Any word on the turbine housing yet?

I'm guessing it's a funny angle, but are you going to have room for a dump tube there with that manifold and EWG? I'm guessing the two o2 bungs are for stock o2 and a WB02 also?

Stopped by Primo last night after picking up the WG, the story is that the housing got left in a truck and delivered to a customer...not sure about it but they assure me it'll be done tonight :/
Once I get the housing back I'm going to test fit everything to see if modification will be needed. I hope to recirculate the WG dump back into the exhaust- atmospheric dump is way loud imo.
Lastly, LOL! There are 3 o2 bungs- 1 factory, and 2 aftermarket...and I really hope one of them works 'cause they both look like a tight fit!

Got the 1350's installed and got a rough tune done up!
Also got the exhaust housing back from ceramic coating and bought a wastegate :)

Nice looking manifold and housing. Are you planning on wrapping the manifold and down pipe?

BTW, I talked to RockAuto. The fan clutch was on warranty, so they are going to exchange it. Should be here in a couple of days.

Awesome news Dan! I plan on getting a blanket for the housing, but as for wrapping...I'm not super interested in getting itchy and such D:
In reality I need to get everything test-fitted to get the wastegate recirculation pipes welded on before anything happens with wrap. I will say I really liked how cool your was when it was running!

Steve, with the new titanium wrap, Gary and I didn't itch at all. I may have enough left for your down pipe. Let me know if your interested and I will look. I am still watching for a great deal on a turbo blanket also.
