[nate95]

HI, just thought i'd let everyone know that this friday, Oct. 6th iam driving my celica down to Tenn. to John's house or as most of you know him by "Mynzeyes" and we are going to install the turbo kit on my celica . We have 2 1/2 days to work on it, friday evening, saturday, and then sunday and hopfully we will be able to finish it on time but most of all I hope we get the turbo on and get the car running good.

And of course as soon as were done with it i'll post and let everyone know how it went, along with some pics and i'll try to make some videos of it

glad to see it up and running , i dont know if i would like where the ic pipe has to go over top the turbo ,that will get a lot of heat and might be a problem, i would of clocked the turbo and put it to the bottom , i would say your fuel presure still might be off a little , might have to adjust it a little

we clocked the turbo about 5 times trying to find the best way to go. true, it's not the best, but it was the best of our options. other places would have put it right into the block, or right into the radiator. the downpipe and other items were going to be in the way. a little heat wrap will cure it. and also, it's where the air is coming out of the turbo, so it's already super-heated anyway, as it hasn't gone through the intercooler. all-in-all, i think that's a pretty good route for it to go based on our options. could be better, sure, but at this point, at least it's running, boosting fine, and everything's kosher.

btw, nate got the boost issue worked out, but the problems are still existing with the boost controller. yeah, it's hooked up right based on a few other applications, but for some reason it's not controlling it. the check valves we used were not right for the application i guess, and so he swapped those, and now there is no boost cut at 5psi. so yay to that. i'm going to be uploading pictures either tonight, or tomorrow while at work, and i'll post some up, as i think we can call this project 99% officially done.
