good news or not?

i was working on the 1g today when i figured i would pull the i/c piping loose just to see what it looked like. when i pulled the pipe off i found that the hose clamp that connected the ic pipe to the turbo was loose on both turbo's.i also found out that the screws on the valve cover were so loose i could have taken them out by hand. well anyways i tightened up the v/c screws and cleaned off the piping for the turbo's and took some pics of my findings. i dont think my turbo's are bad i just think i had terrible boost leak. and all the oil was coming from the valve cover being loose. could the boost leak cause the car to shutter when under boost. before it would run up to around 8psi before you could feel it pull but now with it all tightened up as soon as it hits 1-2 psi you can feel it pulling. also i took off the dist cap it has a series of points inside that look kinda worn and crudy also the rotor button looks the same does anyone know off a company that makes these parts? sorry for the long post. when i looked inside the turbo pipe there was very little to no oil there at all. so are they going out or was it a leak?

this is the ic pipe

the turbos

Those are some DIRTY fucking turbos man. Can you clean them up? I suggest maybe some simple green, or degreaser spray of some sort.

Lol... I'm with Stretch, here... A clean engine is a happy engine. How the hell do you suppose you'll find a leak when you get one? No wonder you didn't know the valvecover was leaking. Clean it off! It takes 20 minutes.
How cold was it? NC doesn't get that cold...

To answer your questions:
Yes your problem was a boost leak.
lol @ "rotor button"
and the cap and rotor, well that's the nature of owning an engine that was never brought to the US. I'm sure you can cross the number to another Toyota that had an engine offered here. How, I don't know.

How did you end up with a 1G anyway?

i traded a 91 maxima 5spd even for this supra and it was like 20 degrees here today plus windy. i need to find out where i can get a new cap and rotor button. cuz mine are about worn out. ill get them cleaned up as soon as it warms up a lil i have some engine degreaser already just havent done it yet ill post more pics with them clean. and i like the 1g it doesnt have th hg probs of the 7m's and its different. yeah its hard to get parts for but hey its fun any ways especially when you tell people its 2.0 twin turbo inline 6 they kinda get this look like " what the hell are you talkin about"

i drove the car again today and it is again not pulling like it should. if i feather the gas pedal the boost gauge jumps anywhere from 2-8psi range without any pull im going to check my ic piping to see if they are loose.
