89 Platinum Silver.....Mmmmm.........

Hook up a vacuum gauge to your vacuum lines and read what the gauge says but be sure you know how it reads (in PSI or Hgmm, etc.).

You are absolutely correct, and that is what I have done with all of the supras I have owned.

What is your vacuum reading?

Do you have a vacuum gauge to tell how much vacuum your engine is pulling? Normal is between 18-21 or so...

I would recommend building your own MBC (Manual Boost Controller) instead of the wastegate shimming method. It costs about $15 to have enough supplies to make two AND you can control the boost amount. As for the increase in risk of a BHG...well, anytime you mod something, the reliability...

Does it feel like the timing is being pulled?

First off, it sounds like you're using the stock, narrow-band O2 sensor which will mean nothing more than a light show on you a/f gauge. If I were you, I'd be tempted to have it hooked up to a wideband O2 sensor (they have them at my local dyno) and see if you are truely running lean. If you...

Haha, gas mileage is completely relative to how heavy your foot is. :D

Agreed. We must know more information like, are you running a cat? No cat, aftermarket bov, bad plugs, etc....the list goes on and on. Give us more info.

I'm going weld happy. I think I might make one of these next.:D

Good article. Other than the stopping at a gas station in a new state thing, I already followed all of those rules through self-acquisition.:D It's really nothing more than "common sense", but since when is "common sense" common?

Hehe....I used an oxygen-acetylene torch.:D

Thanks for the comments! IJ: I have not beaded the ends yet, but I plan to in the next few days.

I love how they turned out. The piping is 2.5" and all mandrel bends. I may even contemplate making cheaper intercooler piping kits to sell if the demand is there. Anyway, here are the pics... After I grinded the welds down and painted them.... This was while I was fitting it...

Good point. The thing is, I think I know who did it. There was a black dude in an older cadillac (imagine that) who was cruising around my neighborhood for a couple days in a row previous to the incident. The sad thing was, I wasn't the only person hit.

My 93 Integra I had before I sold it was "broken into". I can't really justify the word broken b/c I left my door unlocked. I was stupid, but I know better now. Anyway, they stole my shitty CD player that was messed up anyway, but I missed my Linkin Park CD more than the player. They kinda...

I, too, prefer the MKIII seats to the MKIV. My seats have been recovered as well.

I have both. I love the click-type, ratcheting craftsman I have, but the beam-type is easier to use on small stuff because it isn't as bulky.

I believe when I felt boost for the first time on my first supra my exact words were, "Oh, shit!".
