    Removing the IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE

    idle up more like it. Unlike new cars that shut the TB completely. The TB is adjusted from factory for a certain low rpm and the IACV takes care of idle up request (Turn on A/C, Power steering input etc), cold start idle etc.

    How does a VPC work?

    The only way a VPC is much easier is if you have the OLD 7m jumper harness for the VPC. Otherwise if hardwiring, it is as complicated as the rest of the piggybacks to include the emanage, MAFT-Pro etc.

    How does a VPC work?

    depends.... VPC is dated. HKS does not make it anymore. Doen't get me wrong it works but for what you are doing, MAFT-Pro is the way to go.

    How does a VPC work?

    Incorrect the chip is already programmed. A ROM not PROM. It does not use any feedback from wideband system. It relies on the stock TCCS working.

    How does a VPC work?

    a lie.. it converts MAP pressure into a frequency signal to feed the ECU. In otherwords scaling based on the Programmed ROM. Works well but always limited to the stock TCCS for tuning and control.

    quick harness question

    engine harness has nothing for the A/C ;) It is part of the ELECTRICAL harness and it is on both side. A/C Clutch on one. And outdoor temp sensor, and pressure switches on the other side.

    No more TDS, best aftermarket system for the money?

    College? Supra? None. Best advise is don't even look at it funny as it might break! No I am not kidding.

    Borg Warner s372 v-band Question

    well ATP has 4 inch then jumps to 5 inch. 5 inch Vband though is indicative that it was a truck turbo.

    taking a break from SM

    Borg Warner s372 v-band Question

    4.5 inch vband? wow that is huge. Bigger than even the GT42 vband! I am looking over ATPTurbo's website..... see if they have any vband in that size.

    6M/7M crankshafts

    6m is not counter balanced. 7m is counter balanced 7m weighs more than the 6m but does not "whip" as much as the 6m. SupraRich has pictures of both.. look him up.

    quick harness question

    lol downside? Oh plenty! Are you are prepared for a shit load of work AND to trace common path to EVERY OTHER Circuit which requires the ENTIRE Electrical harness be removed from the car in ITS ENTIRETY with all the junction boxes, fuse and relay boxes attached? It won't save anything...

    what does a Standalone replace hardware wise?

    Of course it is not as accurate. It is a pretty good guess but a guess none the less. Hence the need for the AIT sensors. AFM is measuring the air but for a given space but still needs AIT to make adjustment for temp density changes. For instance the frequency of the air for the OEM MKIII...

    big stuff 3 or motec 800

    sequential fuel and spark a "must"? Not unless you are running 11,000 rpm and above it is not ;)

    question about single versus twin

    ok there is an issue here. Sequential is what the tractor puller use.... IE two turbos, first turbo gets the initial exhaust wave and 2nd turbo then gets the rest. On the intake side the compressor exhaust goes directly into the 2nd turbo compressor intake and the compressor exhaust of that...

    big stuff 3 or motec 800

    Big stuff 3, if you have one the motors it is programmed for (mostly Domestic V8 in North America) it is a great piece. The MoTeC on the other hand is hands down better just from configurability point of view from a software perspective. Add the other MoTeC goodies on the CANbus and it...
