    Traction control display

    There is no TC in a stock supra. /debate. Have you friend with 51 supras take a picture of what he's talking about. If it indeed has some type of TC option on it, then it didn't come from the factory like that and was a dealer option. Jeff has spoken.

    BOSS Turbo with HKS boost controller

    There should be a flat, machined spot on the compressor housing, close to the outlet where you would clamp your coupler, where you will drill and tap a spot for your vacuum fitting. A lot of aftermarket turbos are like this in case some people don't want a vacuum reference from the turbo and...

    What else to do when machining head?

    The composite HG will help seal a less than ideal mating surface between two dissimilar metals, but it is not guaranteed as you don't know how far out of spec the block is without checking.

    FFIM??????

    You could fab up one similar to IJ.'s design and only have to worry about the battery being moved. Just make sure you retain all the electronics that go on the stock manifold, mounted in a position where they are still functional (vacuum and water lines here), and you should be good to go...

    mkiii supra in turbo magazine!!!!

    It is a little sad that some people have problems getting good times with big power. I think it also has something to do with the larger turbos that they are running. When the hit full boost, they hit hard, causing the tires to break loose. I guess that's why it's easier to run 11's in an...

    HKS intercooler kit jigsaw puzzle

    New couplers are easy and fairly cheap to get, that's what I'd go with anyways instead of someone elses old assed couplers most likely being held together by worm clamps. t-bolt clamps, get some. The oil cooler is a sinch to relocate, there's a bolt on the frame back behind the original...
