i had a few posts about 8 or 9 months ago about my turbo because it was bad. i finally found a used turbo reasonably priced and swapped mine out. i checked everything on it and seen no damage to it other than it had some slop in it. i visually checked everything that attaches to the turbo for crack or splits, and didnt see anything wrong. anyhow, i changed the turbo and still the same.

i have an 86 4wd xtra cab with an automatic and factory turbo. now im starting to wonder. can you feel the boost on this setup or is it kinda like a diesel turbo that runs smoothly but adds power. i used to have a 4 cylinder mustang with a turbo and a four speed and you could definately feel the boost in it. but a toyota truck with 4wd and an automatic is LOT heavier.

i hope this makes sense and im not just rambling on. i have not installed a boost gauge yet, so i cant give any specs about that. thanks
