OK guys well i finally got my twos r us MBC and got to install it yesterday. all i gutta say is WOW! at only 3 xtra lbs more of boost the car feels alot faster! currently hitting 12psi (tho i think im actually just hitting 11-11.5, my boost gauge i believe is a little inaccurate
 ). i just feel (and hear the turbo roaring for more.. ) the rush of xtra power when the boost gauge passes the 8.5-9psi stock boost i been running since the swap. holy crap, gutta start planning for a turbo upgrade now  bboy --------------------  ..(formerly daily driven) 3S-GTE powered celica currently set @ 12psi.. |

i tried to tell you this when you bought the mbc, remember? lol
the difference between 10psi and 13psi is huge. imho, 13 is the sweet spot. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

man, i wish the stock turbo on my WRX was as big as a ct26
i'm amazed that my turbo really makes as much power as it does granted im running anywhere from 16-20psi depending on the mood i am in. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition
