that looks nice. so how is the reliability on that one? and how will it do if i do decide to bump up boost? sorry if thats a dumb question, but im still new to it. ---------- Post added at 11:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 AM ---------- also, whats a 10 degree clip?

i need a turbo to get me by for now, should i just buy a cheap used ct-26? or get an ebay. how long does the ebay usually last? im running completely stock. all i have is 3 inch down pipe. and thats it for my exhaust. (very loud) :icon_bigg what should i do?

i think it does. assuming that its the original turbo, it has 150k on it. sooo yeah. im gonna start looking for new turbo

i was thinking shaft play from the beginning, but i think for right now its not too bad. ok ill look up that turbo and see how much i can pick one up for later down the road. thanks for the advice guys

so now that my car is finally going, very very fast, i noticed that i was getting a lot of compressor surge. i bought a new stock air bypass valve (BOV), and am going to atmosphere now. i still hear a little tiny bit of surge but now that ive opened it up, and really punched it, (dont worry its...

did not replace turbo coolant hoses... oops. but yes i do smell coolant as well. temperature is fine and the birdcage is not on.

its a stock turbo and i think it went away. i havent had much drive time since i can really only drive it in my neighborhood due to smog stuff. but ill definately keep checking. it didnt smell like anything recognizable either soo i was leaning towards cleaners and what not

so i finally started my supra after putting new engine in! its soo amazing. buuuuut, im getting smoke from turbo and burning from turbo. from what i can see it looks likes its coming mostly between turbo and the elbow where o2 goes. kinda like the gasket it smoking. but obviously its not...

ok, ill just get the stock one for now. thanks for the advice

sooo what should i do guys?

but i dont have any BOV at all at least not that i know of also that is not a picture of my engine, just one i found off of google.

oh crap your right. its the one behind it. the same one that is blocked off in Late's picture.

so im almost done with my swap, and i was curious to see if this would do any harm. the part circled in red is capped off. on both the pipe and the intake so theres no connection. ive been readin up and i guess thats where the air bypass valve goes. not sure. is it ok to leave it capped? And...

ive been searching for this answer for soooo long. FINALLY!

thanks, thats good advice. ill see how it goes
