Haha, yeah I couldn't wait to get it in.

And with the Grimmspeed cover on

Can't even tell it's there!

I still have 91oct in the tank but 10PSI feels awesome. I find you really notice the additional power in the top end. I love it

MAP sensor in

Clamping down the bastard evap lines. AC Compressor and throttle body out

Did you lengthen the wires on the boost controller or did it come like that? Mine looks a bit different and the wires are only 2" long.

protpibe · 05-18-2014, 03:10 PM

That's a different one. Mine came with a long wiring harness. Seemed perfect length to mount it at the front. Shouldn't be hard to lengthen... I would take longer wires over long vacuum hose

Picked up an external mic for my go pro and decided to snag some turbo noise

The turbo sounds so good when you're on it in a high gear.

I noticed you're getting compressor surge on the street though. Have you thought about loosening the adjustment screw on your BOV?

protpibe · 05-19-2014, 10:54 AM

Yeah I noticed that too. The BOV is the AVO 50/50 unit, so I wasn't sure if it was adjustable. I'll take a look tonight. It only flutters at low boost, so I wasn't overly concerned

qtwre · 05-25-2014, 01:19 PM

Are you getting 11psi or maybe a little over or under? I read the value from the ECU and find I get 10psi on my 11 map. Trying to figure out if it's simply a tune calibration issue or if I have a leak. I haven't found any loose hoses.

protpibe · 05-25-2014, 10:20 PM

I'm getting about 1psi less than I should be on all my maps, which I'm guessing is due to my leaking header gaskets. Hope to have that resolved through AVO asap

AVodka14 · 05-25-2014, 10:37 PM

Nice set up, sound, and performance! And love your 4 runner. BF Goodrich tires are always a nice addition.

Hmm, so you're saying your 11psi is more like 10, and your 9 is 8? I wouldn't think it's a problem with a leak because if you can do 10, the 9 should be spot on.

My base map doesn't use the boost controller as far as I know. I have the 6psi actuator and find the boost is really closer to 5. My theory is that Bill's duty cycles are based off what the spring pressure is supposed to be, so if it's low, all the targets end up being low.

Which gaskets did you use btw?

The reason I thought that is because my waste gate is set at 7psi and I'm hitting 6 or so on map 1. I'll find out once AVO gets back to me on a fix for my header (hoping a replacement)

I'm on my 2nd set. The first ones were Grimmspeeds and now I'm using OEM.

protpibe · 06-04-2014, 02:39 AM

Some new updates:

Ordered front and rear control arms from Buddy Club

Also did a fresh oil change with another round of Motul 300v 0w20, Installed a Full Blown Motorsports Oil Cooler

New lug nuts

I also installed an auto-dimming home link mirror from Subaru, and ordered Perrin lightweight water pump and alternator pulleys.

So much to do!

Have you confirmed your waste-gate is set up properly? Pre-load could be off (accounting for the 6 on your map 1)
