    boiling water sound

    I was losing coolant as well, little by little.

I fixed the hose...

    sluggish at higher rpms.....

    Alright guys, got a little bit of a problem......My supra seems a little (actually a lot) sluggish at higher rpms (around 5500rpms and higher).

    Now when you say, NA cluster and NA tach with turbo pcb....does that mean that you swapped boards or soldered in the new resistors? I dont know if it makes a difference but on my NA cluster and NA tach, I just soldered the different resistors onto my pcb and my tach works awesome.
