    So, my stock CT26 has gone bad, what are my possibilities? Upgrade? eBay CT26?

    I have a manual boost controller purchased for all of $30.00. I was running it at 13 psi. I have the Lex and 550's. At 13 psi, I think it drives great. So if you save a few bucks by getting a rebuilt stock unit, that is a good budget move.

    The Luxocruiser 3650 lb sled thread

    My Boss jr shipped. I will have a time sheet in a few weeks. It should be a good refrence for others just starting, or have never atually done mods. Like IJ.

    The Ultimate Daily Driver mkiii buildup.

    Bro, I understand. Back in the day, I had a 5.0 to which I added 3.73's. Tearing rubber in second gear is defintely fun.

    Please help with Fuel Pump Power question

    Does it stay running? Or does it stall out? If it stays running, it can't be the circuit opening relay for obvious reasons. Can you block of the regulator return and see if it starts easier after shutting down?

    Lots of heat inside of car

    Egg smell doesn't necessarily mean the cat is bad, but it does mean you are not getting 3 way reduction, or have excess sulfur in the fuel for some reason. And I think it is a trait of Cressidas and Supras with a 7M to have a warm center console/shifter area.

    7mgte start, run for 2-3 seconds...then die...every time

    If you can't find other things, check DTC's. If you have spark, but the spark confirmation is lost, the car will start, then stall after a couple of seconds.

    550s and and lexus afm emissions question

    This is correct. The mods are technically not legal. They must be 49 state or 50 state legal to be changed from factory. But they will not hurt the car, and you should have no difference unless the car is not running right to begin with.

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    I recently bought a new upper with the picatanny rail. It is the midlength gas instead of carbine length. I plan on getting the EOTech The original is an A2 sights, right down to the 8/3 knob. I like it.

    Heat increases resistance in electrical circuits and devices. Something to think about.

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    Pro-M, who builds larger thans tock mass air meters said they would do it for me, at a price. For the GE. Good point about the computer. The MAF is the most accurate and best way. And I don't see this as debatable, but my proffessional opinion.

    3P's TCCS Disassembly/Analysis

    Actually, a large MAF sensor would be ideal.

    Strange idle patterns upon ignition when engine is already warm

    Are you familiar with the clicking with shutdown? When the idle is high, tap lightly on the ISC. Maybe it is sticking.

    Cold Start Injector

    The cold start injector is about starts that are not hot, also called cold. It has nothing to do with winter. If you read these boards you will find many threads with problems, and you will find many threads with people who have taken things off the car it doesn't need. If you are stand...
