Your funny. Also check and make sure your wastegate is working properly.

So it wasn't the wastegate. I had an exhaust leak right under the turbo. The nut right under the turbo wasn't tight enough. After like 4 days of driving it, half the T4 gasket was gone. Went to extreme psi and got a new gasket. Went to sears and got some new stubby metric wrenches cause I couldn't get to it with anything else. Tightened all of them down and exhaust leak was gone. So quiet now! Except at full throttle that is!:evil2: Went for a test drive Came back and rehooked up the EBC. Went for another test drive. spooling up much better now. A strong 14 PSI. Can't wait to dyno!

He has a point chris. I wish i could get a bigger turbo. I have to make due with what i got:sarcasm:

Yea that 67 is way to small!! :wuteva:

This guy has like two garages, three cars and pretty much just overhauled his supra performance wise.

Great thread man, just read through the whole thing. I might be referencing back to this in a couple of months when I (hopefully) go single. Probably the 60-1 too. When do you start building boost and when do you hit full boost with your setup?

I start building boost around 2800-3000 full boost by 3500-3700. I'm really starting to like this turbo. I had to get used to the boost kicking in at 3000 instead of 2500 when i had the ct26. It pulls hard till 7000rpm. I haven't really gone past that yet. I haven't tuned it yet but it still pulls really nice. I'm running too rich right now. I'm waiting on the harness for my neo. Then I will get to a dyno and see what numbers I can put out before and after tuning.

Thanks for reading and better yet thanks for posting. If you have any questions when switch, I'll do my best to answer and help out!

OMG OMG OMG!!!!! I can't wait for cams!!!! :aigo: Should be coming in soon!

I think I finally got my ABS working. I hooked up all the speed sensors and the ABS light in the dash(JDM Exchange took out the bulb) When I start the car the light comes on and after 3 seconds turns off. Does that mean its working properly?

I had just cleaned the car, it was a gorgeous night and had the top off. Plus I was bored out of my mind at work on a sunday evening.

Sorry I really need to get a better camera!
