i like the targa... it's just nice to have, as long as the supra is a multi-purpose car... but it'll have to be re-inforced eventually via a 6-8 pt. cage

Haha the first time was when I testdrove my car. there was a puddle on the floor in the back and it had been POURING for 10 days straight, my leg got covered. haha.

Haha try Taxachusetts. Might have more luck with that HellsLegion.
I'd actually thought of gte swapping into an NA shell. Just so the VIN will read NA so I'll be paying less for insurance.

heh is it? it seems like some people (with much nicer examples than the one in this thread...) have been doing it and it works.

id think if you were running a pre 89 ECU you could find a way to rig the pressure sensor (the one behind the glove box) to reference manifold pressure.

i wish someone with more knowledge on the subject would chime in, test out the setup.

eh, maybe it just doesn't tickle my fancy. i don't know. i can't imagine that it will function properly under positive pressure. though, i could very well be wrong.

i just think there's time to be better spent elsewhere, but again, that could just be me. ?

i don't have the ambition to try it, either. i'm waiting to install my MAFTpro unit. i too, would like to hear some input from someone who's done it. it's definatly interesting, just not my thing i guess.

I don't think hes trying to run it in blow-through. I think they just by passed the turbo all together, more than likely the turbo was bad or got something jammed in there.

Also that car looks like crap, why someone paid 3600 for it I don't know, I bet some ricer owned it looking at the mods, interior is all riced out and cracked etc, I'd rather have a stock car that was clean and nice than a riced out half ass tuned NA swapped to turbo junk.
