Nice, I always imagined these would respond insanely well to boost.

How is the transmission holding up?

Also, what head unit is that? Do you have Bluetooth and the jbl system?

The Tundra transmission is actually pretty strong, the problem is that in its stock form its shifts are too soft and slow. The dude Chris who made this custom Turbo Kit, also made a Shift kit to firm up the shifts to be faster and firmer. On WOT, there is no lag. I see you have a stock 08 Tundra. Its rated at 381hp at the crank, but you have no real idea what that Beast really does with the stock mushy tranny. Get a shift kit done first, you'll think you are driving a different truck!-LoL
btw.. Chris only charges $300 plus shipping x2 from Kentucky. PM me for more info..
As for the HU, it came stock on the "Limited" edition.. Pretty loaded truck with Nav, a shitty JBL system, heated/leather seats.. etc.., and now a Turbo..-LoL

The Turbo being pretty big at 78mm, using only 3.5 psi equaled dyno numbers similar to the TRD S/C, but with even more TQ. I'd need better fuel than the 91 octane that I can only get from here in Cali if I wanted to raise the boost. Maybe I can run E85 one day, I don't know, I'm just enjoying what shes doing now. About the OShC -"Oh Chit COP!".. I was lucky.. super lucky.. it was midnight, I was approaching him at a high rate of speed.. when I got near enough to see him (beyond the video), he was looking down like he was writing some report! He had no idea I was coming at him and he was just parked dead stopped in the middle of his lane. There was nobody else around..-LOL

Lol, man the last thing I needed was to see this thread. Im going to try to keep this truck stock, just a little longer. But that vid doesn't make it easy.

Yeah I got the jbl system also, with Bluetooth. Display went out on the hu and I'm sort of looking for a "cheap" replacement.

Anywho, don't want to mess up your thread. Nice truck man. Sounds mean and runs strong. Keep the thread updated!
