    Low oil pressure? Turbo?

    Dome? Post a pic if you can, it would be easier than guessing from your description.

    question about the upper A-arms...

    In my post, I said risk, it's not a lock that you'll tear them. IIRC about aftermarket bushings, it's recommended that you use lubricant during installation to prevent noisy operation, which would indicate to me that some rotation could occur, but I can't say for certain.

    Low oil pressure? Turbo?

    Is your oil level going down? The pressure you're getting seems typical for MKIII's. As the oil heats up, it flows much easier, and pressure will drop significantly from cold readings. As for the whine, your turbo bearing may be shot. Take off the accordion pipe, and check the shaft for...

    Noob Question About Downpipe.

    Ahem, that's not the downpipe, it's the turbo elbow. Some downpipes attech to the elbow, and a few, replace it entirely. Either, get a new elbow, or the style of downpipe that replaces it...

    I was just having fun. See, it wasn't caps, so I wasn't angry, damn it!:naughty:

    No boost/ Whinin Noise Idles fine

    You could hook up the AFM directly to the throttle body, bypassing the turbo completely, and it would idle, and run fine, just no boost. Sorry to hear about the untimely demise of your turbo.

    question about the upper A-arms...

    They flex the bushings. If you don't torque them at ride height, you run the risk of tearing the bushings, due to over extension and that won't be a good thing. It's the same thing with the lower control arm as well. The TSRM doesn't give instructions just for the fun of it.

    7mgte overboosting problems

    You still haven't answered my question. You have a boost controller, so what PSI are you pushing?

    Boost Gauge Reading?

    Seems a little low for vacuum at idle, you sure you don't have a vacuum leak? My boost gauge reads -15 at idle.

    Question on Head gasket and RTV

    Yes, use the RTV as per the TSRM. And yes, the gasket extends over the timing case opening. That's how it seals it so no oil gets out.

    got head back from machine shop with notch in it

    I seem to remember it being said, that if it was not touching the gasket, it would be fine. Remember?

    No boost/ Whinin Noise Idles fine

    The turbo has no effect on idling, so yes, it sounds like a blown turbo to me. Stop driving it until you get it rebuilt or replaced.

    7mgte overboosting problems

    What kind of boost pressure are you getting?

    57 trim ok to run on stock setup?

    There's a adapter available to route the outlet back into the intake, so you can recirculate again. Otherwise, go with a engine management system that doesn't rely on an AFM. Crap, I can't find the relevant posts. Shit!

    What are my options?

    If you want more bass, you probably should go with a sub. Crutchfield has a good selection of powered subs, that don't take up a lot of space.

    another A/C problem

    In my experience, not Supra specific, a few things can cause the issue. Bad lines, leaks, and undercharging come to mind. There maybe other possibilities as well. You should take it to someone who's an expert in AC repair.
