    is it ok to run15 psi?

    No. That is why it the car has fuel cut. The car has cast pistons and a composite headgasket. Running on the ragged edge is not what Toyota intended for their luxury GT. The Lex doesn't trick the computer into running more boost. It sends a slower wave at the same volume, which is...

    odd acceleration problem

    Toyota brand plugs and wires set to suggested gap? Even when they say plugs are gapped, they are often wrong. Boots on tight? Your description sounds like tune up parts. Could be something else though.

    odd acceleration problem

    Understood. Is this with the pedal to the floor or part throttle? Not understood. You mean if it gets over 2000 RPM? Without having looked at it, the first thing I would do is ensure the OEM tune up parts are in good shape.

    FFIM question.

    All true at all. You describe just what I said. Actually, with most the pictures I see, you lose a large in the powerband for a small gain. And don't make things up like a lot less throttle response.

    FFIM question.

    The majority of owners don't need it, and lose a broad powerband for higher peak numbers from the shorter runners and larger plenum.

    Engine Temp.

    Well, the coolant temp sensor doesn't measure the block temperature, so it must be the coolant. The engine runs around 200 degrees, as warm as 210 is normal. The thermostat starts to open at 192. Fully open is even warmer. A thermostat maintains minimum temperatures, not average or max.

    Exhaust System

    Cause this has never been covered before. *golf clap* for poodles patients with answering the same questions over and over. Back to the subject, Toyota calls that pipe the head pipe, front exhaust pipe, and something else I can't think of off the top of my head. I think front exhaust pipe is...

    TRD head comparison?

    Hasn't anybody seen the "New" hemi head from Mercedes, or should I say Chrysler? They did the same as the 7M, with a less hemispherical chamber, and more quench.

    Where are the fusible links for #junction box?

    Do you have an EWD? I honestly don't feel like looking. Paypal me 50 bucks and I will look it up for you. The dual pressure switch and the high pressure switch have to close to turn the fans on. That should be the control side of the relay.

    Supercharger on a 7M

    Twincharging is done because two strokes have such poor VE until they pick up speed.

    Headlight issue

    The 2JZ does that when you install it. It is a glitch in the ISC circuit.

    auto solenoids

    They block and allow fluid to pass to the clutch packs and bands. It has been a while, but I think you are missing power to the solenoids, which is why it is default.

    For those with the bolt on sp61gt..

    Aftermarket companies not putting a cooler circuit on the turbo, does not indicate it isn't needed or better.

    Car dies after it warms up

    EGR open, which I don't know yours is, will also cause a stall at idle.

    Where are the fusible links for #junction box?

    The fusable link is the thick wire that is bolted in.
