    I think I'm hitting fuel cut @ 11psi

    You're hitting 11psi with just intake and exhaust?? Maybe your wastegate actuator isn't functioning properly? I would check the vac line to the wastegate actuator. Also, fuel cut is normally around 11psi, so that sounds about right.

    PROBLEMS.

    Looks like your head gasket was blown around the #5 & 6 cylinders... And if you are going to go with a composite head gasket, make sure you use a genuine Toyota one...they are MUCH better than the crappy fel-pro gaskets, or most other gaskets for that matter. Also, looks like there is a lot of...

    Painting Questions and progress pics.

    No, actually it looks great! I really wish I could paint my Supra...but I have nowhere to do it...are you doing this at home? Oh, and I love the first pic of the front bumper, the paint really looks great in that one, you can totally see the pearl!

    Johnathan1's Supra Thread.

    Well, I have finally gotten the car running right...I had to remove the MBC, because for some reason, the bigger turbo wasn't liking it, and it was caused spiking, surging, and lag problems...I also bumped the boost up to 10psi by shimming the wastegate (3 shims). I must say, this is the...

    Getting a Turbo Supra!!! What should I look for?

    Make sure it doesn't have a BHG right away...other major problems (other than the engine) would be the suspension and undercarriage (supras like to crack the rear subframe)...everything else should be pretty obvious. Also make sure you try everything (make sure everything in the car functions...

    Driving in california

    I drive these shitty freeways all the time...I think the I-10 Fwy is by far the worst as far as shitty paving...my Supra simply feels like it is going to rattle to pieces whenever I drive that one. Even my mercedes with total BOAT suspension has a hard time...everything is so uneven... Not to...

    low vaccuum at idle

    The idle speed is computer controlled by the ISC, so it shouldn't need adjustment. However, I also had a high idle problem for a long time, I checked every possible source for the problem (including ISC) and everything checked out OK...so I ended up adjusting the screw, and set the idle to...
