Installed the broquet about 2 to 3 weeks back but didn't update here. It was a spur of the moment thing. Done at Merlin, together with the TRD blue brake pads.
So far, the engine is not substantially quieter. But the car is definitely more noisy due to the larger fuel pump. No improvement in fuel efficiency so far. Then again, the car does feel more powerful when moving off. Less slack.
The Top Fueller 80 itself is located behind the engine. More discreet. The fuel pump is located below the left hand side passenger seat. So they had to cut my sound proof mats to get to it.
This is the fuel pump. Also the culprit behind the whizzing sound in the cabin. Wondering if I can do anything about it. Justin says that it's better when it's run in. I think it's more of a case of getting used to it. Before talking to Justin, Robin and I was squatting and exploring the underside of the car trying to located the "new" sound. Funny!
These are the V8 intank units which cost about S$195 each. I put in only 3 sets. Total cost for the whole thing is about S$1900.
The Top Fueller 80 with 2 V8 intank unit usually goes for S$1670 (list price from agent). So what I paid is just list price from the agent. For those interested, the Top Fueller 80 package is discount from S$1670 to only S$1350 at the Motorshow. Add in a fuel pump (which they don't really recommend) and you'll still save about S$400. Can consider.
Cheers,
