Looks great for a first time job.

There's 3.0 Turbo emblem in the grille too... And it looks like gray interior to me too, I think the camera just threw a weird shade on it.

I don't like it, that lip is too long. If it was half the size it'd be nice.

Well that sucks lol. I'll take a look today.

Looks just like the Mack truck turbo I have in the shop :) Except my turbo has a 1.52 hot side, same divided scroll though.

Can someone tell me where it is? I have a '90 here at the house I'm working on, throwing Code 52. Is there a way to check it? It doesn't throw the light right away, usually appears after 2-10 mins of being started, even if it's just sitting and idling.

It's a doohickey :) Seriously though, looks like a Rising Rate FPR.

Look very similar to Konig Monsoons, except for the color.

Had the same thing in my RX-7 Turbo, until I bled the system properly. If you got white smoke though, you got a BHG. If you have air tools and good skills, you can pull the head in less than half a day easy. You need to take head to the machine shop to be checked for flatness though before...

Really? I was thinking the bigger engines wouldn't get that good of mileage. Although I guess 2.5-3.0 ain't that big. I'm more used to the Chrysler V8's and 2.2 8v engines. I don't know what the capabilities of the stock computer system is on the Supra either.

Always pays to have at least a backup DD. Something that runs excellent that you don't want to mod. My backup DD is the old lady's '87 Dodge Diplomat :) Lotta people drive 500hp DD's though. Of course, most of them have lotsa money too, cause at 500hp you'll go through a bit of gas even driving...

Sticky TB maybe? Otherwise I'd be underneath looking for bad mounts.

Damn, they even left their tools behind :)

Most engines usually have to reach around 250+F before any damage will occur.

Chrysler had them in the early 90's ;) Came on Shelby CSX-VNT's and Shelby Daytonas. They were called VNT (Variable Nozzle Turbine) turbos.

The one in my GLHS wasn't particularly noisy, 255lph unit. I have heard other peoples that whined pretty loud though. I think it varies, some are quiet, other are noisy. Not sure why. I'd say you're probably fine.

Hey guys, joined last week. I got an '88 Supra N/A auto I'm trying to sell, and another one that may be up for sale before long. Eventually plan on getting a turbo 5-spd car, once I get some of my other projects done. I'm big into turbo Dodges, and also have an '87 RX-7 Turbo 5-spd. So hopefully...
