  1. Having fitted vrsf, forge, and mishimoto before, I can tell you that they are all pretty much the same; let pricing be your guiding factor. I have also completed the boost pipe from the other side of the intercooler all the way to the turbo, but the most important one is the charge pipe that goes from the intercooler to the throttle body. Although the charge pipe is easier to change, this one is more complicated.
  2. They don't accomplish anything except make induction noise, so I wouldn't squander my money on one. Instead of the regular air box and paper filter, I would expect to see them in M cars if they delivered any sort of performance boost. The plastic boost pipes, particularly those that attach to the throttle body, are prone to failure; I've replaced multiple of them due to spring clip failure and blowoffs, therefore I would recommend upgrading your N55's boost pipes instead.
  3. Not a headlamp shield, but a trim restorer—I thought that was what you meant.
  4. Sorry, I had to look twice, but my dyslexia helped, haha. Hmm, I'm not very keen about that notion.
  5. Which year is the car? Do you have a timing belt or chain?

  7. Yes, it is your My Toyota account. Have you installed the smartphone application and connected your phone to the vehicle via Bluetooth?
  8. I lack experience with prior versions, but the reception in my my26 GTLS appears satisfactory, despite residing in a remote area and being 10 miles from my local DAB transmitter, which is not one of the larger antennas. Your mileage may vary, of course. Perhaps they overlooked the impact of glass roofs on diminishing the ground plane area previously.
  9. The crucial factor when purchasing a diesel car is the nature of your typical excursions; if they are brief, a diesel is unsuitable, irrespective of the brand. In response to your inquiry, the new D165 and D200 (204DTY) exhibit multiple alterations relative to the preceding D150, D180, and D240 (204DTH), one of which pertains to the timing belt.
  10. Have you inspected beneath the vehicle with the engine operational to identify any leaks? My earlier Ceed is entirely standard but may exhibit some similarities. A flex joint at the front may visually seem to be in excellent condition, yet it can possess a leak that is detectable by sound or tactile sensation when the entire flex section is examined with fingertips. If the exhaust has undergone a comprehensive inspection for leaks while elevated on a lift with the engine operational and no issues were detected, may there be a problem with the crankcase ventilation? or any other loose connection within the engine compartment related to the turbo? Pay close attention to any hoses connected to or from the intercooler.
