yes, it was turbo from the factory and has the stock tranny, i was talking about aftermarket manufactures, im just trying to find prices so i can figure out what i can afford.
Just about everything quality aftermarket is over $1k new. I would pick up a used one or worst case scenario (moneywise) rebuild your current one.
 
thanks for all the help and suggestions, ill see what happens after i fix my bhg, i got more dirt on REV motors btw, when he resurfaced my block he removed the timing belt plate on the front of the block so ive been goin through head gaskets without realizing the problem.

right now my plans to fix it are pull the engine, get the block decked, throw it back together, get a replacement diff, and worry about mods after im out of school.
If you need a block, i've got a stock bore and stock height timing cover taking up space in my storage unit. :naughty:

Sounds like a good plan. A stock, good running supra turbo is still a blast!

anyone with maftpro experience wanna help a noob try to figure out what the hell he is doing?

No, but send me a PM with some details about what you're having trouble with anyway.
 
Right now I'm trying to balance school and tuning but all I need to do is start logging runs and making adjustments.

As of right now idle is finicky, top end is decent mid range is lean tip in is lean and low range is rich. To be on the safe side I am running a tank of fuel system cleaner in case the injectors are being cruel and unusual for some reason

any good shops for boost leak testing/ic pipe work? fighting a boost leak and i havn't been able to find it yet so im considering professional help, and recommendations around the denver area?
It's not that hard to make your own boost leak tester with PVC pipe and some air fittings. If not, Speed Image is in Lakewood near 6th and Union.
 
i actually did that already, and i couldn't find it, i found part of the leak which was a vacuum line that was a little loose but tightening it didn't fix the problem, that and i didn't feel like going over 14 psi while leak testing.... but now that i think about it im wondering if the system saw the full 14.

do i really have to plug off the hose from the throttle body to the pcv system, i read that somewhere but don't understand it as during normal operation it would get pressurized either way.

The line/tube from the throttle body is a controlled leak under boost through a small oriface connecting to the inside of the intake manifold. When I was single'd, I put check valves on both sides of the line and plumbed the intake manifold instead and capped off the throttle body fitting.
