First of all I want to introduce myself with the current mods I have on my 89 Toyota Supra 7MGTE, so we all can be on the same page. I purchased my supra Last August of 07' and it was BONE STOCK from an older woman. After my original turbo went out I decided to go crazy on the MODS which took over 7 months to finish with a buddy of mine, juggling back and forth with work, having a life and researching, researching and more research. The list of mods are the following:
Upgraded CT-26 60-1 (from spoolinturbo)
DDP non-rerouted(from isphius)
SAFC-2
LEXUS AFM
Apexi Air filter
Cooleeze Chrome Turbo Inlet Pipe
Cooleeze Radiator Pipe
MSD WIRES
DENSO IRIDIUM SPARK PLUGS
COMETIC HEADGASKET 1.37MM
ARP HEAD STUDS
550cc RC engineering(3rdtimearound)
SIDE-SIDE intercooler chrome look hard pipes
HKS BOV
Turbo Blanket(ebay.com)
16" Electric Fan
LIPP Intercooler Block off Plate(suprasport.com)
Custom 3" Exhaust with HIGHFLOW CAT
Titan Cam Gears
JVTR 3" core BIG A** RADIATOR(ebay.com)
BATTERY RELOCATION
Intrax Springs lowered
KYB Gr-2 Shocks (if i mispelled sorry)
AEM 2in1 TRU BOOST/GUAGE controller
31x12x4 CX RACING INTERCOOLER side-side(ebay.com)
Royal Purple 10w40
Toyota "pink" coolant ( apparently is better than Prestone?)
Stage 3 clutch 6puck (lethalinjection in Alpharetta,GA)
255 Walbor Fuel pump
Here are situations, I recently took the car to R2B2MOTORS (who specializes in supras) in Duluth,GA for tuning with the SAFC2 since it ran horribly rich. After they dyno tuned the car, it made 310WHP at 12.5lbs. The gentleman said that the car would not make any more power after 13lbs because it started to loose power afterwards due to misfiring( i think). He asked what plugs was i running in the car and I told him they were Denso iridiums with the original coils that came on the car( the car has 120,000 miles). He recommended me not to use IRIDIUMS and replace them with regular NGK coppers with the coldest heat range and replace the coil pack with a new one from Toyota. He told me the car will run better with these replacements since it will be able to produce a better spark thus handle more boost. I was ok great, on to ordering more parts.
My second situation is i took the car for emissions after it was tuned hoping it would past and it did not. It only passed one part. The people at the emissions thought i was running without a CAT since it failed horribly. I attached pictures with the results hoping someone from the forums could help me out on this. I think the CAT went bad (even though i purchased it last year in September) since I did run the car for a couple of days when it was running really rich, before i took it to the dyno. I even pulled out one of the plugs and took a picture of it to help out with the diagnose.
And lastly my DDP, everyone says that the DDP sounds awesome, but to me it sounds like a semi truck. I can hear the turbo spooling but it does not sound like the one on YOUTUBE.com(type in Divorce downpipe supra). It sounds more of a exhaust leak by the downpipe but they are no holes while others are saying that the wastegate seems to open at all times. It sounds so damn loud in first and second gear and im not even boosting. By the way in the AEM TRU BOOST CONTROLLER I looked under the programming section Wastegate SPRING it is set at 11.2, maybe this is causing it. Should i set it to 5lbs instead?
Hopefully someone hear can help me out with suggestions especially the emissions and DDP situation. Thanks alot guys and i hope to hear from everyone, especially JETJOCK!

and then regular HI Throttle points. It seems that all he did (like one of the users mentioned in this thread already) was tune the HI throttle points. We will see by tomorrow.
