No conversion pipe is needed – it bolts straight onto your factory intake. Pre-IART vehicles need a conversion pipe because their factory intake doesn't match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the VNT stepper motor \/ electronic actuator included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No, the stepper motor is not included – but you can re-use the genuine Toyota one off your factory turbo, which most customers do. If yours is faulty or you'd prefer a replacement, we sell them separately – contact us to make sure you get the right one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the actuator rod included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes – an actuator rod is supplied with the turbo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why journal bearing instead of ball bearing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: For a 1GD doing real work – towing, touring, sustained high boost – journal bearings are more durable, more forgiving of oil quality, and cheaper to service if anything ever goes wrong. Ball bearings spool slightly faster on a dyno, but the real-world difference is minimal. We chose the journal bearing variant because it's the better long-term choice for how these vehicles actually get used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Do I need tuning after installing this turbo?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Tuning is not required for the install itself – the turbo will run on the factory ECU calibration. However, to safely use the increased boost capability and unlock the full performance potential, a custom ECU tune is strongly recommended. Without tuning, you'll leave most of the gains on the table and risk limp mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What power gains can I expect on the i-ART platform?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: It depends entirely on your fuel system:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStock injectors: ~220 WHP ceiling (the IART fuel system gives a bit more than Pre-IART's ~190 WHP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStock pump + 30% injectors: ~265 HP \/ 650 Nm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModified stroker pump + 30% injectors: ~300+ WHP \/ 700 Nm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe turbo itself has plenty of capability – the fuel system is generally the limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will it bolt to my factory oil and coolant lines?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes – designed to match the factory oil lines, coolant lines, exhaust manifold, intercooler piping and factory intake. Direct bolt-on replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What brand is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Flex – one of Thailand's leading performance manufacturers and a major name in the diesel tuning scene, used widely in serious 4WD tow rigs across Australia and Southeast Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How does this compare to the stock 1GD turbo?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The 43mm billet compressor wheel is significantly larger than stock, providing much more airflow. Combined with 35psi boost capability (vs ~17psi stock), this is a major step up in capability – particularly for towing, loaded touring and high-load conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I run this turbo on stock boost?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes, but you won't see the full benefits. With a custom tune you can run anywhere from stock boost up to 35psi, depending on supporting mods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What oil do I need for journal bearings?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: High-quality diesel engine oil to Toyota specifications. Journal bearings rely on oil for cooling and lubrication, so regular oil changes (every 5,000-7,500 km) are essential for longevity. The good news: journal bearings are more forgiving of less-than-perfect oil maintenance than ball bearing cores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c!-- Success notification --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: none; position: fixed; top: 20px; right: 20px; background: #10b981; color: #fff; padding: 15px 20px; border-radius: 6px; box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.15); z-index: 9999; font-weight: bold;\" id=\"cart-notification\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"cart-notification-text\"\u003e✓ Added to cart!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cscript\u003e\ndocument.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {\n  const PRODUCT_VARIANT_ID = 46339028877366;\n\n  const notification = document.getElementById('cart-notification');\n  const notificationText = document.getElementById('cart-notification-text');\n\n  function showNotification(msg) {\n    notificationText.innerHTML = msg;\n    notification.style.display = 'block';\n    notification.style.animation = 'slideIn 0.3s ease';\n    setTimeout(() =\u003e {\n      notification.style.animation = 'slideOut 0.3s ease';\n      setTimeout(() =\u003e notification.style.display = 'none', 300);\n    }, 3000);\n  }\n\n  function updateCartCount() {\n    fetch('\/cart.js').then(r =\u003e r.json()).then(cart =\u003e {\n      const n = cart.item_count;\n      ['.cart-count','#CartCount','[data-cart-count]','.cart-link__bubble','.cart__item-count',\n       '#cart-count','.header__cart-count','.cart-count-bubble','[data-header-cart-count]',\n       '.site-header__cart-count','#cart-icon-bubble'].forEach(sel =\u003e {\n        document.querySelectorAll(sel).forEach(el =\u003e {\n          el.textContent = n; el.innerText = n;\n          el.setAttribute('data-cart-count', n);\n          if (n \u003e 0) { el.style.display = ''; el.classList.remove('hide','hidden'); }\n        });\n      });\n      document.documentElement.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('cart:updated', { detail: { cart } }));\n      if (window.theme?.cart?.getCart) window.theme.cart.getCart();\n      if (typeof window.cartCount !== 'undefined') window.cartCount = n;\n      window.dispatchEvent(new Event('cartchange'));\n    }).catch(() =\u003e {});\n  }\n\n  function addToCart(variantId, onSuccess, onError) {\n    fetch('\/cart\/add.js', {\n      method: 'POST',\n      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application\/json' },\n      body: JSON.stringify({ items: [{ id: variantId, quantity: 1 }] })\n    }).then(r =\u003e r.json()).then(onSuccess).catch(onError);\n  }\n\n  \/\/ Main Add to Cart\n  document.getElementById('main-add-to-cart').addEventListener('click', function() {\n    const variantId = PRODUCT_VARIANT_ID;\n    this.innerHTML = '⏳ Adding...';\n    this.style.opacity = '0.6';\n    this.disabled = true;\n    addToCart(variantId,\n      () =\u003e {\n        this.innerHTML = '✓ Added to Cart!';\n        this.style.background = '#10b981';\n        this.style.opacity = '1';\n        this.disabled = false;\n        showNotification('✓ Flex 43mm Journal Bearing Turbo (IART) added to cart!');\n        updateCartCount();\n      },\n      () =\u003e {\n        this.innerHTML = '🛒 Add to Cart';\n        this.style.opacity = '1';\n        this.disabled = false;\n      }\n    );\n  });\n\n  \/\/ Buy Now\n  document.getElementById('main-checkout').addEventListener('click', function() {\n    const variantId = PRODUCT_VARIANT_ID;\n    this.innerHTML = '⏳ Processing...';\n    this.style.opacity = '0.6';\n    this.disabled = true;\n    addToCart(variantId,\n      () =\u003e { window.location.href = '\/checkout'; },\n      () =\u003e {\n        this.innerHTML = '⚡ Buy Now';\n        this.style.opacity = '1';\n        this.disabled = false;\n        alert('Error adding to cart.
