Very nice Jonno! I agree, needs some bigger tyres under it. Still running stock boost?

So, the Hilux has been lacking a bit of power lately, so decided to see what the issue was. The air intake "throttle body" has a pipe coming off it, where there is a rubber blanking plug. Turns out that the blanking plug had a hole ain it where the clamp had been rubbing, and it had been venting alot of boost pressure out of the intake.

I noticed that the boost would take a long time to increase, and would take a long time to come down aswell. Now, it snaps up and snaps shut. Engine is much more responsive and it doesnt need almost full throttle to handle a hill.

So fixed the blanking plug, cleaned out the intake pipe elbow and down inside the IM as far as i could reach
