if you want to check to see if the turbos are gone, set the entire turbo system to parallel mode....you'll hit 10-12psi on 1st, 2nd and 3rd, 4th and 5th, might spike to 18. For gearbox that is, on auto u might see 14-15psi....If you see less than 10, thats when u no a turbo is gone. Could be anyone.
Breaking up....it can be bad plugs, fuel filter, fuel pump going bad, fuel line kink, or, if you're head gasket is gone, its possible.
Also, if you temp goes up, does it go back down after a while or while driving normal? If not, then head gasket gone....Does it white smoke all the time or only for a little while on startup or such? White or Blue smoke, is what u need to exactly check, if turbo is gone, u will get blue smoke but it might look white to u....
Been thru all these problems on a 1jz and 2jz, and had them sorted out with research and patience. Toyotas dont like hurryness, so doh rush and do this and that, u might over spend for no reason.
