You're right, that could also be an issue. If the wastegate sees no vacuum signal, the wastegate flapper/door stays closed, and the exhaust gases continue to spin the turbine wheel faster.

Do you have both gauges tapped into the same vacuum source?

Well, fuel cut could also be caused by boost creep, especially with an upgraded exhaust and cooler weather. If that's the case, as Grimjack said, the person is SOL. They would have to upgrade the fuel and lower the airflow seen by the ECU to prevent fuel cut. So, your correction was not...

Where did you read this? A link would help to understand what exactly shaeff stated. Generally speaking, there is no reason to run both a BOV and BPV, especially an upgraded BOV and the stock BPV. The stock one may still leak air back to the intake and the BOV is still going to vent some...

Yes.

I'm not sure if you are questioning it or not, but they are called end links. Examples: http://www.altaminiperformance.com/products/endlinks/endlinks.html http://www.energysuspension.com/pages/endl.html

Said it on SF and I'll say it again here, very nice! :bigthumb:

What's the point in getting an upgraded BOV if you keep the stock one in place? The stock one may still leak air back to the intake and the HKS is still going to vent some air to the atmosphere, so you get no benefits and the additional detriments to performance. :confused:

I was having no luck using an allen wrench, so I just gave-in and used a vice grip on the back end. I tried twice with the allen wrench, but ended up tearing through the threads pretty quickly. After that, I just used the vice grip when I was installing my ST swaybars. I wouldn't recommend...

I'm also a fan of 5-spoke wheels, but your wheels do look good. How well do the 245s handle on the 8-inch wide wheels?

Sparks Toyota has them for $59.95. http://www.trdsparks.com/accessories.php

Congrats. That car must be a lot of fun as a daily driver. :)

Yes, a large amount of black smoke coming out of the exhaust is due to excess fuel. And yes, that can be adjusted using an SAFC. As I think you know, just don't make any adjustments until you have the wideband installed. It's best to leave it running rich for now than to over-adjust and have...

You guys are paranoid. It's just a Weird Al music video.

I don't eat fast food very often, but when I do, it's usually at McDonald's. McDonalds: Big Mac, Quarter Pounder w/ Cheese, or Chicken Nuggets meal Wendy's: Spicy Chicken meal, 5 piece nuggets + Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger (Dollar menu stuff) Burger King: Whopper w/ cheese meal Taco Bell...

Yep, I do it too. Used to do it all the time in the Talon, and find myself doing it quite often in the Supra. I enjoy driving, especially when there is no destination, deadline, things to get done, etc.

Unfortunately, all message boards will have occurrences of that. People will often post information solely from hearsay or things they read somewhere, without any facts or actual explanations to back it up. Often times it seems like it's due to a need to increase their postcount, something I...

There are times when I do get tired of continuously having work left on the car. If I can help it, I try to do my upgrades in small steps so I don't have to have a lot of downtime; that is, I don't do a whole bunch of mods at the same time if I can help it. I like to know the car is...

I would also go with slotted rotors. They help dissipate some of the heat and gas buildup caused by the pads, to provide more consistent stopping power. They will eat up the pads a bit quicker, but that's the compromise for better performance. Definitely. Porterfield R4S pads made the...
