First 550mi trip in 24 Sport

[JT michigan]

I was delighted at discovering how my 4th gen sport ran on my first road trip...quote amazed at how/when the turbo engaged, and keeping a close eye on the tach. Having made this same trip 16 times over the years in my first gen I was frankly amazed at how the 24 performed. Handled different grades of various length with absolute ease! No lagging whatsoever, and never above 2000rpm!
Someone please school or source me on turbo charging, as I'm most curious to learn more...

That’s awesome glad you like your truck. The turbo charger is spun by the exhaust gases and the other side of shaft is another impeller that forces air into the engine giving a small engine more power.

Here's a simple explanation:

Basically an engine needs air, fuel, and spark to run. A turbocharger forces more air into the engine, which then can allow more fuel to enter the engine. More air + more fuel = more power (more combustion).

Curious as to what rails you're running on your roof ? Were they a direct bolt-on?

Thank you. We've come a long way!

I was hoping for that, but my dealer couldn't tell me when oem rails would be available.
I'm using a Yakima system. Expensive and clamp on,but the one similar I used on my 2003 tacoma functioned perfectly for 20 years. So no hesitation from this retired shop teacher.
