When I did my turbo swap I had good luck with those three nuts actually. One thing that I'm sure helped me is I don't have that first cat right off the downpipe. So I jacked up the car and with IIRC 12" and 6" extension swivel and 14mm i believe, and to make the job easy used an impact gun to...

Yeah that's how mine is. For some reason when I got it back from a buddy I lent it too it didn't work properly, took it all apart for some reason there was a ball at each end of the spring. I took the needless one out and it's fine. Anyone else ever seen this?

I'm currently running 8-9 PSI on mine right now, stock gasket retorqued to 75lbs, haven't had any problems with it at all in almost a year. And yeah that stock boost gauge is garbage. Just get a real gauge and steal the vacuum source from that one

Car is pretty much stock, I have a custom intake and a full straight pipe exhaust from the turbo elbow back, boost raised to 8-9 PSI, replaced stock wires with NGK blues last year did plugs as well, did my own little turbo rebuild on a spare I got from a buddy to stop the rank smoking issue, and...

It's not leaking boost at all it's just i couldn't find a good hose to recirc the DSM and also trouble finding something decent to cap off the 3000 pipe. I had it set up like that though and sometimes when you would rip it and let off it would not seem to recirc properly and the car would...

I just took a picture trying to insert it now ---------- Post added at 02:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 AM ---------- Okay here is my setup, is this alright?

Someone tell me if this is good or bad, stock valve is still doing its normal recirc job and i redid my piping on the cold side of the I/C and put in a pipe from my old car that has a 1st gen DSM valve on it i believe. It seems to run fine and is still getting that metered air from the stock...

I took out all my ac components, and the alternator looks like it would fit nice where the A/C compressor was, with a custom bracket of course. Thoughts??

Quick question as well on this note, since it doesn't drive the ECU at all I should just be able to put a cap on it and use that existing vacuum line/source for my mechanical boost gauge right?

Actually just did this one on my car today, a real cunt while its in the car, and yeah its just a small about 4" 90* heater hose that just goes from there behind the exhaust valve cover and into another piece of hard piping

Yes very nice car, I'm also in Regina but my car is way far from this but hey it's still a supra lol

Oh don't you love turbo uphill? I went from 60mph-105mph in 5th up the valley we have here, good haul

checked charge pipes, found a split one, fixed it. also fixed a vacuum leak at the throttle body. connector on the AFM seems kinda messed up on the actual sensor itself

So my turbo had quite a bit of shaft play and was burning some oil. so i got another CT26 from a buddy swapped it on along with the o2 sensor now i have major problems, when idling the car revs from 500-1000rpm and occasionally stalls out. also when slowing down in gear it blows smoke from the...

Not burning oil, used a boost leak tester and when I got every leak i could find done the air was wanting to come out of the cap on the valve cover, reset ignition timing, turbo has a bit of shaft play and I purchased another off a friend but am waiting for the gaskets to install it. Also how do...

Hello I just bought my first Supra (7M-GTE) about a month ago and it had a slight sputter around 4k rpm and was building about 4 lbs of boost. Then it started running really fucky. I changed the plugs, wires, fixed boost/vacuum leaks. I can barely give it more than 25% throttle and if it tries...
