    What do I need for 450rwhp in high altitude?

    wastegate is simplier, doesn't care about ambient pressure, it will open when the pressure in the pipes gets to the proper PSI to push the spring. The difference is gonna be lag and temp changes like I said, thinner air, faster spinning turbo, hotter air, well you get it. Has nothing to do...

    Pics of my new wheels, CCW Classics! :)

    Supra Steering wheel re-covered!!!

    Looks like he didn't stretch the leather enough on the center post, loose leather on a steering wheel is....bad And what's wrong with the wheelskins? They look like they're stock when properly installed, don't move, and make the steering wheel thicker (thicker wheel = easier to hold)...

    Upgraded Clutch Disc on stock PP?

    Not to mention the fact that there isn't much movement in the hub, I'd be scared I'd tweak the hub sideways and bend the fingers on the PP, but it's really up to you... I've never had issues doing it the way the TSRM shows... I honestly wouldn't resurface the PP, as you dunno if it's too...

    Meanest Mom in the world selling son's Supra!!!!

    Help me to find that manifold

    I'm here!!! He's a local to me and used to be on both these forums and SF, but has been banned on both for a couple reasons, none being his service... I wouldn't hesitate to buy that manifold, as it's a totally different design than the ebay ones and it comes with a downpipe. I have the...

    targa top fastener alternatives

    To really answer his question, the MKIV has a safety latch that will hold the targa on long enough for you to notice the rattling and noise from it not being tightened down. Pop the safety, push up at speed, and you get the F&F scene... MKIII doesn't have such a thing, so if you forget to...

    Tailgating

    Houston = worst driving in Texas If the big meet wasn't there, I wouldn't ever visit, look at all the Supra casualties every year because of idiots there... cuel: that's when you get their badge number and report them for wreckless driving. They are not above the law.

    Upgraded Clutch Disc on stock PP?

    don't use an alignment tool... wanna know why? If you're just dropping the tranny, there isn't enought room to get the bellhousing back far enough to actually slide through the throwout bearing assembly. Follow the TSRM it's very easy... Now, back to the topic, I wouldn't use the old...

    the main issue I've seen with eagles compared to other more expensive rods is weight consistancy...

    What do I need for 450rwhp in high altitude?

    not on a turbo car... it will make the same boost regardless, but will be more laggy. To answer Joe's issue, if the sensor that detects altitude changes is't working correctly, then you might have an issue. You have a boost controller, dunno if that would cause the issue though... This...

    Intermittent Engine miss

    shouldn't really be an issue as what he's describing isn't a miss, but acts like you killed the engine with the key. Mine did this and moving the PCS wires would stop it for a day or so... I ended up replacing my engine harness and CPS from the dealer (not cheap, don't recommend unless...
