Welp I may have just had a Christmas miracle. It all the sudden started working like normal. The only thing I can think I did was somehow reset the diaphragm in the booster when I was blowing and sucking into the vacuume line to test the check valve. We'll see if it holds.

I had some more time to look over things and the brakes will release if I pump the pedal with the motor off. Once I start the truck and press the brake the booster builds up vacuum and won't allow them to release all the way. If I unplug the vacuum line to booster they will release again when I...

Just got under the truck and cracked the bleeder screw and sure enough fluid streamed out and I could hear the shoes retract. Now I just need to find some parts with the holiday. They look like pretty generic lines, if anyone has some part numbers I'd be very grateful

Interesting, that does sound plausible. So theoretically I should be able to crack open the bleeder screws to relieve the pressure and the wheels should spin freely. I'll have to check this out later today. I wonder if there are any aftermarket steel braided lines that might fit and have a...

I'm on a road trip and my front brakes keep over adjusting or somehow they are dragging. I have stopped several times to back off the star wheel adjuster and it works for a bit but after using the brakes lightly they re-adjust. I Jack up the wheels and they are hard to turn. There isn't any play...

I'm looking to add an oil pressure gage with an 1/8" NPT sender and am trying to see if there are any open ports on these motors. It looks like there is a 3/8" NPT plug on the oil cooler that might be an option or I could always T-off from the stock pressure switch. Any other option out there?

Yea, id prefer to get it as close to the collector as possible so I'm not just reading one cylinder. There is a good spot on the bottom of the manifold if there is enough wall thickness for a thread but I'm not sure if there is enough clearance, I'm still waiting on the probe to ship. I didn't...

The turboglide manifold got delivered and it fits great. I still need to drill and tap for the pyrometer, where are people locating these in their manifolds, I would prefer pre-turbo measurements. I think the last big hurdle is going to be the oil drain. Holset specifies a minimum drain ID...

Here is the email, sales@turboglide.com.au I was talking with a woman named Nancy. Maybe we can get a discount on shipping since we are both in the PNW.

I was just digging through some old posts and found this comment about a Turbo-glide manifold with a T3 interface. I was able to get a response back from them last night and they said they have custom castings for these and just need a couple weeks to machine. Now I just have to hope they will...

They just got back to me and said they checked with the warehouse and manifold suppliers and that they don't have a manifold with that bolt pattern. Maybe they did in the past but it seems strange that they would offer a different bolt pattern when they sell a TD05 turbo in the kit.

I just sent another email off to Kinugawa to see if maybe they had a manifold for any other models or something they may have made in the past with the correct mount. I also was going through some photos on the Turbo Glide site and saw they just welded and adapter plate to the stock manifold...

I am still racking my brain on how @JDMBrian mounted this. This is his photo and its definitely a Holset turbo on what looks like a stock manifold. There has to be a manifold out there somewhere with a T3 flange. He said early in his post that he had a 4D35T but I cant find anything when I...

That comparison picture makes it look a lot worse than it actually is. Here is a picture of where the stock gasket lines up. The mounting flanges are over 5/8" thick so there is plenty of meat to grind in a smooth transition. Whatever flow restriction the inlet ports might add I should make up...

Here is the new manifold test fit. If the bolt pattern would have been correct it would have worked perfectly. I think I found the appropriate adapter for the T25 to T3 and it should only add 1" of offset...
