Now thats impressive Reading this thread is making me want to go back down the gym, havnt been for about 8 months, dont get the time anymore.

I would also be interested in this

Hi mate, ref number for the manifold gasket is: 17176 Cam cover gaskets: 11213 Give those numbers to Toyota and they will be able to order them for you. Cheers Lee

It is best to replace the gasket between the runners and the manifold, your local toyota dealer will be able to sort this for you.

Hi

Hi and

I have seen this and have to say its almost too nice to put on a car, needs to be hung on the mantlepiece Stunning bit of kit.

Very sad news RIP

Hi and

I have a brand new one £70 delivered.

Hi and

Very good value considering its front and rear lines. They look very good quality and a lifetime warranty too, very good.

Looking good Wez

Your advertising it as a HKS T04Z which is twice the price of the turbo you actually have for sale. You just need to change it so whoever buys it knows what they are getting.

You may want to change your ebay add though as its a bit missleading.

There is a noticable difference in the HKS T04Z look and feel, the compressor wheels are visualy different so they are not stock garrett. The wheel also spins smoother and more freely indicating the bearings are also different. There is also a weight difference, as with the T51 compared to the garrett equivalent. Not condoning the price difference but there is a noticable difference in quality between the two. Sorry for the thread hijack Mike.

This is the garrett which you can get with quite a few diifferent sized housings. http://www.aptuning.net/Garrett_Turbo_Chargers_p/garrett%20t04z.htm This is the HKS T04Z

"These HKS custom turbocharger units are Garrett based turbos that are designed and built specifically for the performance oriented. From the HKS specific compressor and turbine wheels and blade designs to the thier unique housings, each HKS Signature and GT ball-bearing turbocharger unit is race proven and engineered with the highest standards in performance, function & reliability. These units can be utilized in certain bolt-on applications or custom applications from the basic street car to a full race setups." The internals are modified by HKS as well as the housings, although they look similar they are very different. Supraforums are always very biased on HKS stuff as the forum is run by boostlogic.

I hope you didnt buy that turbo thinking its a HKS because its a Garrett T04Z which is about $1300. The HKS T04Z is $3120. Sorry to break the news to you but you may have paid too much for it

Hi and

Hi and

I would stick with the stock head gasket, you wont even notice that small change in compression. You would only use a thicker gasket if you wanted to lower the compression to run loads of boost but that would make the car sluggish off boost. Hope this helps
