    overBoost/ cutoff problem

    Yep, it's fuel cut, and it sounds like you have wastegate issues. Check the vacuum line to the wastegate.

    is it ok to run15 psi?

    Because the lex AFM is meant to be used with the 550 injectors , you're just moving the entire map over a bit. Completely different ideas, and the FCD is NEVER to be used by itself. HKS even stated this in the article I read (it's posted somewhere) about when they first tuned the MKIII supra.

    What are you reading?

    Tanya: yeah, gotta read em in hardcover or you get ONE read through the paperback before they fall apart. Really sucks, but the books are worth it.

    What are you reading?

    Currently reading Atlas Shrugged (should be required reading IMHO). If you like fantasy, read the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan.

    Compression ratio and engine heat

    Temp sensor in the same place as the stock one? (it's the one behind the bracket for the PS res.) If it's not there and on the other side of the t-stat it's not going to be really accurate to what the engine is seeing...

    is it ok to run15 psi?

    IIRC the FCD clamps the AFM signal... yeah, not a good thing. It's meant to be used with the full suite of HKS electronics as a system, not by itself.

    Supra is rattling like crazy when I rev near 3k RPM

    Not going to jump to conclusions, but if it IS rodknock, he owes you an engine. I don't know your dad, but it almost sounds like jealousy over you having something nicer than his...

    Exhaust System

    Better, but I doubt it would be a major issue on a car of our length :D Not to mention how large you'd have to make the pipe and it wouldn't fit under the car. That article is a bit old, as it doesn't cover tuned unequal length headers as are being used now as upgrades on turbo cars.

    this or that new forum game

    You mean Angus Young or Bon Scott? Doesn't matter, SLASH is better in either case. Transformers or GoBots?

    toyota vs ford

    What is ironic is that the USA Three (no longer the Big Three since Toyota is kicking their ass) are trying to be "retro" but are behind the curve on innovation. What is funny is Toyota kicking their ass at their bread and butter money makers (TRUCKS). A lot of companies seem to think...

    Compression ratio and engine heat

    Also depends where the temp sensor is.

    Exhaust System

    Trying to find that article from Garrett specificly talking about this. The main point was that restriction slows the spool which lowers torque, the turbo is the power maker, not the rest of the system. EDIT: Found it http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=227843

    SM Helps with my depression....

    Best advice I've seen in a while ^^ Sealing yourself in a dark room away from the sun is a good way to make yourself worse, get outside and in the sun and it will help some. I have a love/hate with SM as it helps in some ways but reminds me of the reasons that I'm in this state to begin...
