Which MAF are you using? What is your whole setup if you don't mind me asking?

Do you have alot of axle wrap or wheel hop now that you have boost?

Do you have grommets for where the charge tubing passes through the metal?

Sorry for all the questions : )

im using a stock maf right now, which alot of people say is not good but i havent run into any problems and im running 8 pounds.i just bought another maf got it today going to put it in front of the turbo its a stock maf which should give better reading in front of the turbo seeing its only suppose to read vacuum. i havent noticed any axle wrap and i have 3 in drop blocks in the back no wheel hop and where the piping goes through the metal you cant see it but i pretty much rolled the metal back so it doesnt have a edge on it.
i dont mind the questions glad to help :D

That's awesome and thanks for sharing, i have been wanting to do a turbo as well. Did you change any pistons or valves or anything substantial. It would be fantastic if you could give use a parts list and a little idea of the power gain!!

So is that the Stock KA24E motor or the KA24DE motor from the 240sx. I found the turbo manifold on ebay. Thanks for the feed back your truck is very interesting. I have done a lot to my truck and it's nice to see someone else with the same passion.

make sure the turbo isnt to big for the engine and alot of those turbo diesel turbos are rated for like 20 - 35 pounds to be within there power range
