    Boost Leak Tester ?'s

    Wait a second unless I totally miss my understanding here there is no point at which the engine will have all the valves sealed up and allow the intake mani to be pressurized. And a valve leak isn't the same as a boost leak either I don't think. I don't think you can boost leak test your intake...

    Which Turbo Turbonetic 60-1 or t04e?

    Damn I lean towards the turbonetics personally even though your saying the garret has the vaband flange, which is oh so nice for mounting and aligning. But finding a mani that is vband is much more challenging

    Which turbo has the most bang for the buck?

    Holy crap, I wasn't aware anywhere near these numbers were possible with a CT upgrade, would this even be reliable though?

    question about fluidyne radiator cap

    Perhaps it's different with the Fluidyne rad but with my Koyo rad I had to get a totally different cap. I found the cap of a GE fit it but not the cap off my GTE. Ended up buying a brand new one anyways, but make sure the one you get will fit.

    Crashed Supra, the one I built.. PIC's Loaded.

    Damned shame to see it happen, but also good too see the car held up well and let him live for another day. Must have hit her hard though from the looks of it, without a doubt.

    Synapse BOV surges when recirculated, ideas and advice please!

    Hey man, seriously don't let my critical attitude towards them throw you off here. Seriously, as I said it may be a great product.

    2JZGTE MKIII Swap Info

Oh wait then you would also have to somehow transfer the independant rear wheel speed sensors and front too, as our cars use a single channel for the rear antilocks that is not...

    Driftmotion intercooler kit?

    Are you talking about the intercooler itself or the IC piping kit? The piping kit is really good value in my opinion. You get a great selection of pipes, rubber joiners, and good quality clamps.
