    Pretty! :) Make sure to take care of maintenance first. That's your number one priority as a Supra owner! First mods I would suggest would be a full 3 inch or larger exhaust from the turbo to the back of the car. Then an air intake(look into the apexi kit) after that you can get a boost...

Used a paper clip to power the fuel pump with the car off. Should the afpr gauge read zero when the car...

    Yea just a home oven. Never use the oven to cook with after you have used it with curing powder coat. You can get a starter powder coat system from eastwood. That's what I got.

    Dan - I think it comes with a strut tower mounting bracket for the regulator... I'll have to check! FullNelson - I'm not sure if it will completely withstand the heat. Lets hope! I know people powder coat the cold side of the turbo housing and they don't have problems. I would think heatsoak...

    Bluechulappa's 89Turbo restoration

    So I began the tear down of the exhaust side of my 7m-gte tonight... I found a lot of front to back shaft play on my stock turbo. I was shocked. But I know my turbo is eating my oil quite a bit! Not a whole bunch of progress but tomorrow I have bigger plans! My new 57 trim will be here...
