Yeah, today i'm going to remove the cat and just try running it open pipes and I'll see if there's a difference. Yes, engine was rebuilt after fixing a blown head gasket and finding out I had a blown piston ring, so I figured I might as well rebuild it now. The smoke wasn't really coming from...

5PSI an my aftermarket HKS boost gauge. And after adding 3 washers on each bolt showed increase from 5PSI to just below 6. Yeah and I've already taken a look at all my intercooler piping and connections. No vacuum leaks, or new noises. So this is totally beyond me..But the smoke is the only...

Okie, being that I don't know too much about this car and I'm still learning as I go..What do you recommend I try out first? Oh, and what about the smoke coming out from the exhaust side? :O

Ok, so after diligently tried figuring out why my car was only boosting around 5PSI, I think I may have found the problem. From checking all vacuum lines to making sure everything is in top shape. I decided to try shimming the wastegate and see where that gets me. So I added 2 washers to both...

Thanks man, well if there's anyone here in the LA/OC Area that would like to give me a hand that would be great. Because I don't think the shop knew how to properly put the car back together. Because a friend of mine did find that Power Steering was connected to something else..If someone can...

I know that they did not replace the turbo, because I never got one to replace it with although I was thinking of getting a rebuilt 57trim. WG Actuator and tubing are both new terms to me, but from what I know, no they were not replaced. Yes, EBC is what I meant. It came in the car from the...

Is that so? I was under the impression that stock is 8PSI...and only reason why I'm saying this is because before it was at the shop it was boosting near the 10PSI makr on my boost gauge. And by the way it is not utilizing the stock boost gauge. As for the other question, when it was in the shop...

Hey all, once again running into problems with my Supra. (Surprise) Haha. Tried searching the forums best I could for possible solutions, but nothing. I've recently had work done to my car, and now my car is only boosting @ 5PSI. I don't want to go back to the guy who did the work (which was a...

No no, sounds exactly like an old TV or a radio station that only gets static transmission. Doesn't stay on but it comes in intermittenly for a second or two and goes away for about 30-45 seconds then does it again. Do codes get thrown out even if check engine is not on? And timing of the engine...

Alright, well after searching the threads as much as I possibly could, here I am. My first issue, which is more annoying than anything, when I leave my car idleing or just as I'm driving if I'm not driving too hard. You can hear a little squirt/tv static type of noise. I've asked a few people...

Not too sure about the rivet on the MHG, but I'll get back to you on that. But to further clarify what was actually happening to me, when I drive, I did not overheat at all or smoke; but when I did come to a complete stop or deaccelerated, the car would smoke out of the exhaust. Lots of white...

Anyone?

I had it done at a shop my dad's friend owns. I had them torque it to 75ft/lbs And the engine was milled down as well and I only needed stock size MHG.

About a month ago I had my BHG repaired, about a month later I get that same problem again. Or so I thought. My car started spewing out white smoke; and overheating. Took my car in to get looked at had my radiator flushed and I no longer have overheating issues. I still spew out white smoke...

It does that all the time, when I start the car usually it'll hang around 1500, but after driving around it hangs out around 2000. What happens sometimes though, if I sharply press and release the gas it drops down to 800-1000RPM's then slowly goes back up again. And to check my timing I...

Alright thanks a lot, I'll get the materials needed, aside from a soldering iron, and have my friend help me out with it :]. Now another question, could the CPS wiring also lead to why my cars starts up really BOGGY and why it idles at 1500-2000RPM, or is that probably because of my TPS?

Haha, now, how much for the lesson on how to rewire it? :aigo:

Oh man! You made me remember, that happened to me last time, my friend, Johnathan also a MKIII owner, wiggled the CPS wiring while I was trying to start the car and it started fine when right before that I couldn't get anything but a click out of it. Althought I don't know where the CPS wiring...

Yeah I know, I get paid this Thursday so when I do I'm going to head down to see Aaron and pick up a TPS from him. The car has 166,000 roughly, any new parts were just what I mentioned above. Car was putting out codes for Knock Sensor and ECU Temp, but I got rid of the ECU Temp and I still have...

I tried doing a search but I didn't come up with much. Here are my problems in full. I've already ran into a BHG, which I didn't have the know-how or the time to do it myself, so I had it replaced with HKS 1.2mm MHG, ARP Hardware. My main problems still occuring are these; 1)In need of...
