CAR GO BOOM! Right when I was going to MDC to upgrade the turbo/downpipe/wastegate combination and solve my annoying fuelcut issue, the car decided it wanted to start rod knocking. I went about 2 miles down the road making the biggest...
Hey everyone. I will try to provide as much detail as possible. I have searched and searched and tested and tested, and now Im at wits end. I need some help figuring this out.

Supra is currently undergoing surgery, so Ill be driving the XB... Seems I see alot more supras rolling around when Im driving the toaster, and since it sticks out like a sore thumb since I got it wrapped, I figure dIt show it off so you all can honk if you see me and I dont look like a tool...

I took the dash apart and mounted an autometer ultralight 30psi gauge in the stock gauge location. wired it in to the stock dimmer on the dash too. Much better than the "floppy the boost gauge install I had going on before with...
First off, thanks where needed for helping me figure out my idle issues and low boost situation.
Here is an update.
The car runs smooth as silk now. Boost is a steady 6psi, I think the wastegate spring is weak. But I took the long weekend as an opportunity to get ready for the Ohio meet coming...
Ok, Every turbo car I have ever owned I have seen increases in efficiency by removing cats, installing higher flowing downpipes, and higher flowing air filters etc...

89 Supra Turbo. Picked it up with a blown headgasket. Put...
Ok, so I bought my 89 supra Targa T as a toy. First things first... I Replaced the head gasket. now Im addicted and she's not behaving.
