98 Celica st205 Options

[bhsk8er]

Alright guys,

This is my first celica and I am extremely new to turbos and such. But I have a few questions. If i want to get a bov, where would I put it? I've read that people have been putting the HKS SSQV's in the st205's.

And also, Is there any way of converting this engine to OBD II? I have a few applications in mind.

I also would like to know if converting my exhaust downpipe/exhaust to a 3" system would be bad.

I've read mixed forums on all of these matters and would like clear and straight answers if possible.

Thank you, and greets from Okinawa, Japan!

@neon- About the 3" exhaust I did read that it- is prone to boost creap, but the only exhausts i can find for the st205 on ebay are 3". And if i did that i'd have to change the exhaust manifold and down pipe from 2.25"/2.5" to 3". Or does the down pipe go from that to a 3" opening?

@Bladey - i wanted OBD II for the real-time diagnostic capabilities. and what would i do if i took out the airbox and just got a filter? if not the stock BOV/dump valve is attached to the airbox, no?

reason why im looking online at ebay is for shipping purposes. I have to ship APO. I might be able to have one of my local friends accept the packages.
