    ct26 efficiency

    just a quick question. i searched but didn't come up with a definite answer. what's the max boost recommended for the stock ct26? i'm sure you can just crank it up, but at what level does it just make hot air?

    stupid supra problems

    well, my car suddenly started going up to 14lbs of boost intermittently. i tried turning the boost down, but it didn't help. next i went back to the manual bc i had, and still nothing. i checked for leaks, and i checked the wastegate actuator. no problems found. i finally ran the vacuum line...

    no start question

    ok guys, i have a weird one for you. i've been dealing with a little bit of a rough idle and extended crank when starting that i think is due to the way i gapped my new plugs. first off, i installed ngk's that cross over to autolite 3922's. i know the stock gap is 32, but i was told to gap...

    another tps question

    i'm sure this has been asked before, but i couldn't find it. will a faulty tps cause the car to hit fuel cut? from what i understand, the car measures the amount of air flow and the throttle position against preset limits. my tps is set at .5 volts closed, but won't go past 3.xx volts wide...
