    Question for the wise

    Ummm...it's not possible for it to be a vac line. A 3-way splitter open to atmosphere pretty much disables the wastegate. What max psi were you showing?

    oil catch can install

    The HKS VPC basically converts the engine to speed density...there should be no problems. However, I would pay close attention to AFR to make sure the extra air is not causing a lean condition. The engine may need to be re-tuned.

    Perhaps not, but you will...just a matter of time if the wires/connector are bad.

    Wiggle the CPS connector while a helper starts the car. Did you check the ECU codes?

    Maximum Boost?

    First of all, there's no way you can challenge anything...this is a car forum, you are a guest here, you will abide by the rules, and the site owner has entrusted me to enforce them. It's a simple as that. I do enjoy teaching people about this car, but (as in a previous thread) you have an...

    Check Engine Light Error Code 1-1 HELP

    Yep, that usually fixes it ;) Cleaning the other grounds will not help the remaining codes. A short in any of the ignition wires needs to be fixed ASAP. I would fix the code 52 after that...the car will run like crap because with this code present, the ECU pulls a big chunk of timing...

    Maximum Boost?

    You talking to me? If you are, you are missing a very important point...I am a moderator for the Tech sections. I don't hit the back button...might want to think about that. Plus, the following explains it pretty well: Basically you are asking for guesses and/or opinion. Tech...

    Check Engine Light Error Code 1-1 HELP

    What did you do to fix the code 11? I would do like AJ said and clear the codes by pulling the EFI fuse for 30 sec. Drive the car and check codes again.

    low oil pressure

    This should help ;) http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62838 The whole purpose of a full flow Tstat controlled oil cooler system is to get the oil up to ops temp as quickly as possible and maintain it. That temp is 100 deg C. The stock pressure based system sucks for 2...

    ARP Studs...

    Yep...the one I posted was Rev 2...the sheet PureDrifter posted is news to me. I agree...ARP designs their fasteners to 75% of yield strength. While a 5 or even 10 ft/lb over torque is likely not an issue, it's the "more is better" mentality that can cause a cumulative effect over time as...

    oil catch can install

    Below are your most recent posts...care to point out to me where you said you were using an non-stock TB? One look at the TSRM would have cleared the orifice confusion right up: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=EC&P=5 The only comment you made was...

    oil catch can install

    I would not pull crankcase vapor into the bottom of a can. I might be misunderstanding this, but fluid collects at the bottom and you do not want any back flow to the cam covers. Route as depicted...if you want to use 2 PCV valves: - At the TB with flow direction toward the TB. - At the...

    oil catch can install

    Take the catch can out of the diagram and connect at the two T's...is it any different than stock? Do you know what an orifice is? How is a larger hose going to affect flow though an orifice? The stock sytem has a controlled boost leak through the TB orifice and so does this modified...

    low oil pressure

    Could be a couple things: - Piston squirter opening below it's rated 40 psi. - Stock filter head cooler valve opening below it's rated 40 psi. - Oil pump relief valve opening early. Might consider replacing the squirter bolts while the oil pan is off ;)
