  1. Hi All The standard KUN26 front end is just not high enough. If I put 25mm strut spacers in the front of my Hilux will it level it out or will the front look higher than the rear. Also, will I need to get a front wheel alignment after fitting them?? Anybody?? Thanks Rory
  2. Hi All I have now attached a video and have more information. In past weeks the vehicle has been well used and there are no performance issues, no smoke and no change in the noise. I removed the intake pipe this arvo and the compressor wheel is sound i.e. there is no movement. I went to a mechanic yesterday to talk about options and he threw straight to a new turbo at roughly $4800. I asked if he had ever fitted a kit or cartiridge?? He said "no - it's not the turbo that goes, it's the actuator and you can't separate them. He told me he put 5 2nd hand turbos into a Prado with the same engine but the problem wasn't resolved until he put the new turbo in. I won't say anymore about that. I am convinced it is not the bearings being worn and the compressor or turbine are not rubbing on the casing. My question therefore is - What the bloody hell is it?? Cheers Rory IMG_1262 Hilux.MOV
  3. Hi All I did a fairly long trip a couple of weeks ago and my 2010 D4D Dual Cab Hilux turbo started to sound like a siren. It is still doing it several weeks later. There appears to be no performance issues and we continue to drive the vehicle as normal but the high pitched turbo whistle has changed its tune. The noise changes in accordance with engine / turbo revs. You would think there is a fire engine somewhere in the distance. Any ideas??? Rory
