    what bov do you recommend

    I've been very happy with my Forge Motorsports FMDV006A. It's a piston type BPV so there's no diaphragm to tear and most places sell it with the spring kit.

    Question for the wise

    If it used to be: Turbo -> Hose -> T -> Hose -> Actuator And it's supposed to be: Turbo -> Hose -> Actuator Then you will have a leftover T and Hose.

    Coolant leak from where??

    Plan on ~2 hours and taking the radiator out (makes the job soooo much easier). Good time to change the belts too.

    ALSA Paint? Recommendations?

    Before you jump on the chrome read http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/alsa-killer-chrome-product-review-146018.html I've read a couple good reviews about the actual paint though.

    having issues with gas floater

    That seems easier than I thought it would be. I've been putting off investigating my gauge issue for 3 years because I thought I'd have to drop the tank.

    Turbo Timer

    Aside from all the debate about whether or not it's necessary the OP asked which one people have/like/recommend. I happen to love my Blitz DTT. Turbo timer and boost gauge in one product, small display screen with very long lead to the main box for easy placement (I've got mine where the...

    Tinting Hatchback?

    Having tint won't mess up the defroster. Removing it will most likely hurt the defroster. That said I've had mine done for just over a year and use my defroster regularly and haven't noticed any bubbling/cracking/fading.... Yes I live in FL but the humidity and not having a garage to park in...

    Happy with my supra (for once)

    I'll be happy once it gets some fresh paint (looking at next spring as $200 paint jobs aren't my cup).

    Turbo Predicament

    I'd go with option 2. Just buy a Turbo to begin with. Especially if you're craving the targa as well.

    Installaing a front mount on my 88 MK3

    The mk3 comes stock with a front mount. You might be thinking of Alltracs and Subarus and the like that have top mount ICs that upgrade to front mount. Anyways, if it's a stock style upgrade it should bolt up with having to install a bracket here or there. If the inlet and outlet are on...

    valve job machine shop asked me about

    Not sure about the block work, but I got a local quote for a complete head job a few months back for $425 (leaky water pump was causing bhg like overheating and loss of coolant). This included a complete valve job and resurfacing using my new seals and springs. And stealing a link that jdub...

    Dashpot mod: to solve engine stalling when venting BOV to atmosphere

    Even if there were the dashpot doesn't connect to the intake at all. It's just a system designed to hold the throttle plate slightly open for brief moment.

    driving with a code 52 - a stupid idea?

    The only visual way to tell is if it's cracked. And get ready for some labor on the rear one. The starter has to come off for sure. I took my upper intake manifold off to make it a little easier and it still took ~3 hours (be gentle with the cold start injector line if you do this, don't ask...

    YOUR Supra... Is it FUN to DRIVE?

    I wouldn't have bought a Supra if it wasn't fun to drive. When we go to WalMart I purposely go to the one 20 miles away (closest is 10) just to run her on the 2 lane 55 mph open road. Although it's a lot more fun now that it's in better shape, I used to dread getting stuck somewhere. And I...
