    Turning off the turbo?

    I guess I really messed up on how I asked the question. :nono: I have every intention of making sure the car is running perfect ahead of time. I can handle most other kinds of breakdowns during the race I just wanted a simple plan if the turbo gives me trouble.

    Turning off the turbo?

    I love the Light switch!!! LOL I will have all new piping and hoses prior to the race. I only have a Turbo supra so buying a non-turbo seems a bit expensive. Obviously by the responces I have recieved it's not something you can quickly and safley bypass... (I will check for the turbo...

    New to Supras

    Howdy all, I recently purchased a 1988 Supra Turbo with 112,000 miles. It has a few mechanical problems but is complete, fairly straight and runs ok. I got it for $500.00 with the idea of entering it in a redneck “Junker” road race at a local track and throwing it away at the end of the...
