    How many vehicles have YOU owned!

    The Mustang is much quicker out of the hole. It is lighter and has a bigger engine. The Supra is a much nicer all around car, but costs are much higher. They are not really competitors. One is a pony car, one is a luxo coupe.

    i have an idea on how to play with the acis

    The natural torque curve of the 7MGE determines when it goes to a full plenum, or half. Changing the cam timing could change the optimum point for opening the valve. But I like having low end and high end both.

    polishing compressor housing

    When polished, metal holds more heat. Looks great, functions not as well. Remember that.

    Post engine rebuild, proper way to start car?

    The ignition portion is the ignitor. The car will not start with out it.

    where is my boost going??

    I figured the wastegate was obvious. I thought maybe the engine not loading could be a problem. 10 is correct, but what about advance? I didn't know if you had timing control or not.

    Money, the root of all?

    The Constitution Party agrees with you, but you won't like their position on morality. Think of them as libertarians that go to Church with Pat Robertson.

    i have an idea on how to play with the acis

    The hours Toyota spent on the dyno researching it pretty much cover it.

    EGR valve?

    The EGR valve leaking could easily cause a rough idle.

    Rear camber?

    It is adjustable. You may well have worn parts on that corner too.

    Money, the root of all?

    Joel, you sure like to quote the Bible a lot. And don't even know it. Of course, you paraphrased it, you didn't really quote it. No. The love of money. Willing to run your grandmother over to make a buck is a problem. Those willing to work overtime for an extra buck is not the problem. edit...

    shim the oil pump or change the jet size

    In Phoenix you can use the 10W-40 no problem. For those that do not realize it, or haven't read the other 8 billion oil threads, those number represent temperature usage. A simple google search will show the range, if you can not find it here or in your owners manual.

    Problem

    I believe bleeding is done best by two people. Find somebody who knows how to do it. He will have you pump the pedal and then hold it when it has resistance. Then he will open it, the pedal will fall to the floor, and he will reclose. And you repeat the process until the pedal feels good. You do...
