Welcome back, Suze. :)

No - seriously, let me know what color you want it, and I'll change it for you.

??? You didn't like my color matching?

Or Black. Did I mention that black looks good?

Keith, that is wicked! Gotta love it! :)

Internal. :)

How about this - it certainly cannot hurt as long as you are running a metal head gasket. There are theories that it might damage a composite gasket, but we don't have to debate those one way or another here. :)

I have never retorqued mine. I've torn the engine down several times, and they have always been on there DAMN tight when I do, so I don't worry about it. YMMV, of course.

Just head to the local parts place and pick up McGuires lens polish, and a buffing wheel for a drill. It'll make your lenses look new again in no time.

IJ is correct on this. I'd leave the timing at stock levels, and I'd torque the head to 100ft lbs.

I can't believe there is even any discussion over this. All Supras should be painted black. IMHO, of course. :D

Heh... I spent most of my time finding the damn picture of the wing! :)

Ok, here you go. Included the STI I 'borrowed' the wing from as well.

If you posted a picture of the wing from the right angle, this would go a LOT faster... :(

Hopefully it evens out on the 'Good' side of things. :)

drunk_medic, EXCELLENT post. I was done with this thread - just keeping an eye on it to make sure it didn't degenerate entirely into a flame fest and require locking - and that post broght the average percieved IQ back up to the point that I'm willing to post again.

A healthy turbo can still hit 12 psi with a broken BOV on there. Ask me how I know. :D

Mr. Akimoto wasn't a real troll. He was more like a modern day storyteller. I miss Mr. Akimoto. :(

Ok - first off, is your car stock? Second, are your hoses from the factory, or have they been replaced? If you are driving a stock vehicle, with 15 year old IC hoses, then chances are you have leaks in your accordian hose from the turbo to the air filter, on the hose that comes off the turbo...

Yes. Boost leak for sure. Check all your hoses, consider building a $5 boost leak tester.
