    Manual Boost Controller (MBC) DrJonez

    I run his MBC, works like a champ. No pics of it mounted, but like that pic up there shows, it basically goes in the line between the turbo and wastegate. Easy to intalll, a lil tricky to "set" your boost level, but once you get it dialed in, its like that chicken cooker on TV, "set it and...

    Safe A/F Ratios

    Alright guys, Ive been tuning my car on my own using an S-AFC II and a AEM Wideband. I need to know, what are relatively safe A/F ratios? Im gettin 11.9 - 12.5 in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and it gets up to 13.0 - 13.3ish in 4th and 5th. This is at WOT. So, is this bad? Am Im running a lil too lean? Or...

    What clutch to go with?

    Id look into the Spec clutches. My Stage 3 grabs like a mutha and is still very manageable. The Stage 3+ should handle what youre going to throw at it.

    60-1 reliability issues?

    I ran it with stock IC and pipes for a while, only had this IC and hardpipe setup for about 1.5 years. Had the HKS BOV for pretty much the entire time though. I get very little compressor surge, but only at low boost (under stock level), I think the valve doesnt open with so little boost pressure.

    Ok. Let's hear it! Your best street win and yes...your worst street loss!

    Best - Brand spanking new C6 Vette (paper plates and everything) on the freeway going home from work. He was cutting through traffic behind me trying to get next to me. Finally does and then its on. He caught me asleep and instantly got about a car on me, but as soon as the boost hit, I got that...

    57 or 60 Trim?

    My exact setup. Lag feels like the stocker to me, the turbo hits quick and hard. Traction will become your biggest problem.

    60-1 reliability issues?

    I guess Im lucky (for the 1st time in my life) because Ive been running a 60-1 for about 5 years now at 10-20 psi. It was a daily for about 3.5 of those 5. I ran 10 psi for about a year, then 20 from there on out. I checked the shaft play just this past weekend and guess what, no shaft play...

    Location for nitrous

    A friend of mine ran a 250 shot on his Trans Am DAILY for YEARS, went through about a bottle a week, never had any problems aside from traction. Its all about how you set it up. Do it safely, use a WOT switch, window switch, fuel pressure relay, etc, etc, and you have nothing to worry about...

    57 or 60 Trim?

    Not the same as a 60 trim, but Ive got a 60-1 w/10 degree clip on the exhaust side here. Been running 20+ psi for YEARS and havent had a single problem aside from traction and blowing off intercooler pipes. Ive made 371 RWHP still running crazy rich (READ - AFR's in the 10s). Get a turbo timer...

    TX2K8 thread - $$$$ to the 7m in the 10's - Let the smack talk begin!

    Sounds cool, hope there are more MK3's there this year. Although I may not even go this year, Ive got a lot of other stuff goin on right now, havent even really touched the Supra since last year. I should go to defend my Modified class title though, we'll see if I show, if I do, it'll probably...

    Whats the highest speed you have ever gone in the MKIII?(nws)

    Raced a C6 Vette, last time I looked at the speedo I was around 120ish, never shifted to 5th, the car felt like it had plenty more in it.
