I'd recommend new gaskets. SC to Intake gasket and TB to SC gasket. May as well do it right the 1st time around.

I'd also suggest changing your valve cover gaskets and spark plug gromets while you have it all apart. Mainly the rear one.

BTW - Anyone looking for a TRD supercharger, PM me. I know where to find them. I just don't have $3,000!

$3,000usd?? WOW thats WAY too expensive!

Would use that money for a Turbo Setup

ouchies, 3 grand is a lot...
gotta get lucky on ebay i suppose. i'm just waiting for another to show, mine is dying...

TRD Chargers for the 1MZ are rare new.... Prices range anywhere from 800-1600 bucks used.

Also, what he needs to upgrade is the fuel delivery, not gaskets.... The Charger is notorious for running lean!!!

aigochamaloh · 03-23-2007, 02:27 AM

so does someone still stock them new on this forum?
i was thinking about upgrading my fuel pump and using injectors from another toyota, possibly some turbo car from toyota...
