Boost will make you feel good! It's very habit forming however I suggest you get rid of the vacuum leaks so you get the full experience and possibly a video thumbsup.gif

Took the both the upper and lower intake manifolds off and cleaned the crap out of them. Hopefully they will seal well finally so i can smog it and start the moding.

Vac leak is fixed. I was on vacation, and when i got home a whole bunch of goodies had arrived. The supra got some MAJOR love today...
Took out the dash to install a few things and put in the new one

Not feeling the presumably nightshaded lenses, but everything else is good. I had no idea the duplicolor trim paint tunred out that good I've usually heard of people using s.e.m. product.

Where are the video's at?

Once the black rims go on, and the tint goes it will all flow, dont worry.


Today i fixed my EGR leak, and buttoned up the PCV system which made the computer happy. I then got the dash all squared away and installed the MBC and turbo timer. Coming out of my driveway i floored it and dropped the clutch(before this would make the proxies squeal a bit and the rear end would kick just a bit) this time however the rear end FLEW out and i was left 90 degrees in the middle of the road. Luckily i live on a dead end so i got to stop and laugh hysterically. I would say before i was at around 60% of my HP as the comp was retarding the timing and i had some massive vac leaks, now id say im at around 90%, with the extra 10% being from small things like intake and boost leaks.

Prosport gauges and pillar pod should be here in a few days smile.gif...A video is pending. Sadly the semester starts in 11 days so all my time with the car will be purely going to making sure its gonna be bullet proof(torquing, measuring,testing, changing out fluids, ect)The boring sh!t.

Well these wheels will most likely be going because:

A:The tires leak pretty bad
B:The tires are crappy and worn
C:I don't like the rims enough, they are almost just like the sawblades


So ill just sell these for 200$ or something to a mustang owner and then get a nice set of black 18s.

Changed the supertech oil and filter out today for rotela and a pure one, and this is what the oil looked like,200 miles is all ive driven using this brand new supertech and filter:



Also i hooked up my prosport boost gauge today, and my max boost..4psi..4...I must have a huge boost leak someplace or the wastegate has issues..

Just think, Andrew. 4 psi and you're already having that much fun. Imagine how it'll be once you get everything sorted out. Then rub it in my face and make me hate my unboosted IS and crappy non-running FWD Celica a little more tongue.gif

yea..i mean the OEM boost gauge says im hitting about 6, which is OEM. But i plan to run 8 just to be safe as the car is the DD. Double the boost..i cant wait biggrin.gif Im still shooting a TPS, coolant sensor and knock code. So the car STILL is not 100% happy.
