Cool

now is the time to add a gutted turbo elbow . see that brick wall inside the stock elbow coming off the turbo ?

imagine what the flow would be like with that wall removed and a 3 inches wide open downpipe without a Pre Cat stuffed in it .
a no brainer modification for the gte

Exclamation








ok. as im putting everything back on the intake side and this fall on the ground. i have pretty much no clue where it fell from because i didn't see where it fell. if anyone has anything on where the two ends of the vacuum likes run to i would be very thankful. everything is almost all back together. just have a bunch of sensors and the exhaust/ turbo to put back on. and thats pretty easy. ha.

thanks guys. hope i get replys soon. i want this thing to be done finally.

This may help, ignore the small red cross in the last picture, that was used to explain something else. As you can see they are bolted to the inlet manifold,

The one in your photo has a bent fixing bracket, so that would be on the left hand side looking at the drawing and pic.

Correction! the pipe in your top photo has the same metal pipe as the one on the right in the drawing. Toyota identify them “Vacuum Switching Assy” They have different part numbers, the difference may only be the shape of the bracket though.

Default well....

i am awaiting a dead battery to charge. after 4 months of sitting it was completely dead. it starts to like hiccup ever now and then and when it does turn over though, its really odd. sometimes it almost screeches and sounds like air is coming out of somewhere after that. im really confused and frustrated. ill keep you guys posted on how it goes after i get the battery charged and hopefully running.

ok so it started to run and it still makes a really annoying noise thats like a high whistle/ screeching when the engine is running. it also runs really rough and doesn't idle on its own. i have to keep it going. when it stops it sounds like a dieing bird. i am going to try to link a video of it as soon as possible on youtube.

Couldn't hear it, but would guess its either coming from a perforated hose or bad gasket. I dont know of an easy way to find it either, other than looking carefully at the whole system in that general area. (unless someone has a simple technique... I solve this by pulling off hoses and taking a close look at what they are attached to. It can be a long process.)

Never heard anyone suggest this, but try soapy water, wipe the hoses you suspect making sure they are wet. Then see if you can see any bubbles. (you will need to do it on a cooler engine if your going to try it on the block itself).

This is a hard one to do from a 1000 km away... all we can do is guess with the information at hand. (of course.. Im not a mechanic, just suggesting things)
