I just picked up a set of rims for my car. By doing so, I've decided to compliment the new wheels with a new suspension setup. What I want is comfort FIRST and performance second. The car is mostly a cruiser with the occasional mountain twisties thrown in. How does this sound? -Tanabe...

I'm looking to buy a boost controller, gauge and EGT gauge along with a turbo timer in the next few days/weeks. Who makes the gauges and boost controller that are in PSI and black in color? I'm going for continuity since the stock gauges are black and use standard units of measurements.

Holy crap you're in Boise. I'll ask around and see what I can find. I assume your car is a Turbo?

Did plenty of searching on this one. It seems that the general concesus on SM is Autometer gauges aren't worth it? I like the Greddy gauges, but they aren't in Imperial measurements. That's not a major problem, it just doesn't flow with the rest of the instrumentation on my car. The...

Are you guys talking about IC pipe kits or some sort of intake pipe kit? I've seen "hard pipe" replacements but only for radiator hoses and such.

Isn't 14 psi on a CT26 different than say, 14psi on a T88? Won't there be different power levels?

Stock offset is 35?

How are those working for you? I was thinking about going with those Matte Black 5zigen Fn01rc or whatever it is that Driftmotion has. They'd be 17x9 up front and 17x10. Hopefully that fitment won't cause issues.

Is there such a thing as an optimal wheel/tire size? I'm looking primarily at 17x7 and wider or 18x8 front and 18x9 rear. Is one better or worse than the other? From various threads and articles I've read it seems that 17" is the sweet spot for performance, looks, and driveability. Does this...

Right now I have just these mods to my Turbo: Apex'i Intake BIC Downpipe Titan High flow cat Tanabe Super Hyper medallion catback The gain was quite nice over stock. So, the next logical step is an IC piping upgrade. How much of a gain can someone with these basic mods expect? Is it...

I went to the USGP in 2004 and me and a buddy are going this year as well. Words can not describe how awesome the experience is. The sights and sounds on TV do not do justice to the action that takes place. I'll be sure and post some pictures from this year and from 2004 if anyone is interested.

Damn it! I'll be at the USGP in Indianapolis that day!

Boise, Idaho.

Another good "upgrade": Get a dipstick that's from the 91-92 models. It's so easy to read the oil level now! Best $14 from the dealer I ever spent!

Jake, Thank you very much for the input. That's exactly the kind of information and write up I was looking for. I'm definitely going with the Type 1. Now the next question: Does HKS make good boost and EGT gauges.....? :) I'm going for brand continuity btw.

No, spend the extra cash and get a downpipe that eliminates the turbo elbow!

OK I give, why did a 911 Turbo show up? And why did it make an appearance in the MKIII Supra lineup?

I did some searching and it seems like they just don't work right or something. Search and you will see. For some reason when mentioning problems the name Greddy pops up more than others.

Is there such a thing as a best turbo timer? Or are they pretty much all the same? I'm trying to figure out what the hell to buy and they all seem to offer their own traits and abilities. The only one that seems to be not so hot is the Greddy unit. Any ideas?

Come to think of it, a buddy of mine mostly did the install of the cat section. I'll ask him if there were any tricks or anything he did during that. I do remember us having issues with the cat hangar but that was getting the old one off. That was where most of our trouble was.
