Hi, wondering what the best place to hook the a atuator hose to. Standard setup without soliniod and fmic. Pics are really handy too if u have any. Thanks

Josh

Just connect it to the standard location.

Actually im assuming here that you have one of the 'over the radiator' intercoolers so the stock locations gone right?

I guess it depends what turbo your running. Alot of guys i know like to hook theirs directly to the compressor housing.

But for stock turbo, dunno. Stock location works fine for most people, so maybe in a similar place?

Im not sure where the stock location is, it's not standard intercooler piping, and there is hoses taken out cause of the piping and the soliniod being gone. Right now it's running straight from one ofthe steel pipes that runs accross the top of the rocker cover, usually goes to charcoal canister, not teed off either, just straight from there tothe actuator. Problem is my boost just keeps rising the higher my revs go. This is the setup that was on it when I got it. I am new to these turbo setups. I was thinking of putting on a profec b controller.

Sometimes the boost goes to about 15, depends how cold it is that night. On average it goes 10 to 12, i have a split dump pipe on it also. I have heard that can make a difference. That quick tap idea in the link that was posted seems like a good idea. Maybe i should give that a go. from around the turbo housing, is that where pretty much everyone goes from.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
