That was a bad cop - amongst the majority of good ones he makes it really hard for them to do their job properly. I ran into one of those once - he wrote me a ticket for a license plate light being out... Him and the DA were total douchebags and they didnt want to talk about what had...

yes - very good chance it is the first cat in the stock downpipe that is clogging it up.

I think I am having the same problem although I have not had the chance to watch the gauge on my AFPR while the car idles. I have dual pumps and the resistor wired up in parallel. Initially, I had one resistor and it got WAY too hot. I wired in some resistors in parallel for low load conditions...

The turbo doesnt mount to the intake manifold - I assume you meant the exhaust? Yeah - lots of guys have used the stock intake mani with non-CT flanged turbos. Short of an adaptor for the hot side it really isnt too much different. Look around

Sounds like you have a clogged catalytic converter. You probably dont have a downpipe do you?

I didnt notice any smell - it still smells like Supra in my car..... Yes, the peel and seal is thinner than the other stuff, but on the majority of the car you dont really need the thick stuff anyway. On places where it makes a difference to have a thicker product, like the roof, just put two...

In retrospect, I dont know if the modification that I did to the AEM to change the signal for the c2di worked or not - I just assumed that it didnt work because my timing light did not flash. It is quite possible that it was working. I had the injectors turned off while I was working it so I...

So I tried a jumper wire and it was intermittent at best for signal pickup on the light. I borrowed an el cheapo light that bridges the gap between coil and plug - 100% signal pickup. Timing set. Start successful. I cant believe that it actually runs. Holy shit.

how the hell did this happen to you?

Oh - and I just started my car after working on this engine for nearly 10 months. Holy shit it runs.

Well I wired them in parallel and checked the voltage at the pump wire - it comes out to 12v. Im guessing that this voltage decreases as the amperage increases or that the resistors are limiting the current? Regardless - it seems to be working just fine. The pumps are much quieter and the...

I wired in the two resistors in parallel. The pumps sound even quieter than with the single resistor - I guess this makes sense because it is now running at 3.5 ohms for resistance? Well that doesnt make much sense to me. I thought that with the lower resistance that it would make the pumps run...

Yeah the 12v relay has a diode in it.

The relay in the back is wired to a switched ground (12v direct to the battery) that comes on when the AEM tells it to. The day to day ops of the circuit is through the resistor.

I thought about doing it in series but it looks like it will actually increase the reistance to something like 14 ohms which would make it get even more hot? In parallel it looks like each resistor will share some of the load? http://physics.bu.edu/py106/notes/Circuits.html I really...

I have the 12 v relay set up like that so that it comes on with parameters defined based on boost or engine load. I dont want to wire up the pumps separately because all of the wiring is already done. I was thinking that I could just get another resistor and throw it in parallel to the other...

I have two pumps in the tank, and I have an additional relay wired up in the back so that the AEM will turn on a full 12v when the engine load requires it. For day to day operations, I have the standard 9v circuit (with stock resistor). The problem is that the pumps are pulling too much...
