    Thanks. Just got her back tonight! Drive great and pulls hard. I didn't get to play much tonight and my boost controller was on 15lbs of boost. I can't wait to try out the 18psi setting haha

    Tuner called me tonight. Was putting down 350rwhp at 14psi in 100 degree weather. For some reason he got misinformation from the GM. They thought I didn't wanna go past 350hp and 14 psi. So they sent it back to the dyno to get to 400rwhp hopefully. I told them they can boost it to 18psi

    Update tonight! Texted the GM at DD performance in Sealy. Asked them if they had started on my car yet?! He said the tuner was working on it and sent me a pic :) Meanwhile my sister's car came in...

    DD Performance Research in Sealy. I live basically in Fulshear, TX so it's close to me and though I had never heard of them. I got a few recommendations after asking about them. They made me feel very comfortable with leaving my car with them. Atleast a week and two tanks of fuel. But they are...

    Oh and I almost forgot.... Derek (JDMMA70) came over about a week ago and help me install my brand new Toyota Cam Position Sensor! This is what a brand new 7M-GTE Cam Position Sensor looks like new from Toyota... If you were wondering :)

    Hey everyone, I know it's been a very long time and I'm sorry but here to do a quick update. More coming towards the end of this month. I finally am getting my MK3 tuned! I just paid my deposit to my local tuner. They are charging good money but I think it will be worth it and they sound like...

    DIY: R-12 to R-134a Conversion (How To)

    I paid JDMMA70 (Derek) to fix the A/C system on my 1989 Turbo Supra this past weekend. My A/C has not functioned in several years, it's so hot and humid here in Houston, Texas I had just decided not to drive my MK3 during the summer months. I finally broke down this year and hired him to do the...

    Sadly I just stopped doing stuff to my supra. It's so nice now and drives so great I only do minor things to it. Not worthy of posting here :) All I need is a good tune and I should be able to break 400rwhp. I have just had other priorities lately. Getting married soon and looking to buy our...

    Can piggyback be unplugged?

    Very good info here. Thanks everyone I wired up the harness for my mapecu but my car had an issue with it's temp gauge while at the tuner. So for now just the map ecu harness is installed into the stock ecu harness. Car runs fine since my mapecu is unplugged and my stock afm is still being used.

    Didn't make it to the tuner. Decided why rush things. I installed my new NGK copper plugs, one heat range colder than stock and gaped to .028. After doing so I had lots of misfire and rough idle. I took them out and put my old Denso double platinum plugs in and it runs great. Misfire every now...

    Last ditch effort here... Plugs are pulled, waiting on my colder NGK plugs tomorrow and installing them tomorrow night. Saturday the tuner may be able to squeeze me in but not sure :/ My last chance to get tuned for tx2k11 I'm in the middle of a job promotion at work so my schedule is all...

    froubaby's 7mgte rebuild

    Nice! I'm watching this thread. Great looking cars. I like how you used the tC as a motor transport I also have a tC as a daily driver. If you think that was hard try putting a motor in the back of an xB hatch! LOL

    So had a problem at the tuner today. Something with my cooling system failed. I know my engine is not actually overheating but my gauge is acting up badly. The tuner called me and said they couldn't tune it due to the temp issues :( Anyone have some advice. I know the wiring for the temp...
