02 Montery Dakar build / final stages

[turbomonty]

i inspected for some signs of bad things happening and only found mild rub on the cab and exhaust. the exhaust is just too quite in that i cant tell engine RPM at all by the sound. just loud motor rattling shit. i removed the second muffler to aid in this and will see what it sounds like.

Went full nuts with 3" exhaust
boost got real loose and zips right over 15 pounds now.
i am getting the idea i might be blowing through my stock little torque converter!

edit. maybe not blowing through but the converter but it is not very happy at heavy load in the taller gears.
