My car is running like crap and has been since I got it from the shop. when I drove it home it was not wanting to stay running, and the turbo was spooling up alot sooner than it should. I had to move the pedal up and down to get it to run down the road. If I stayed on the gas, it acted like the turbo was reaching cut off. The whole time i was driving I could hear the box thats mounted next to my brake pedal clicking like crazy, and I dont know what it is. I will take some pics and maybe someone can help.
what is this?

Yeah they claimed that the car was running like crap when it went in, but I had someone tell me the day before I took it there that they have never seen a supra idle and run as steady as mine was. I found the ic pipe from the turbo to the intercooler almost split all the way through. It was either pryed on with a pry bar, or cut with a knife.
Not sure what that piece of electronic equipment is, but I was going to suggest that you have a boost leak.
^ i'm with you
boost leak... turbo to ic pipe is the one doing it if it's split
have no idea what the electronic device is

Maybe you did. The car was in houston till I bought it. The guy I bought it from was the second owner, but its always been registered there.
I still cant figure out what that is. Its not for the stereo. Its spliced into alot of wires at the fuse box so I'm thinking its either something for and alarm, or the engine
