"WELL I think you can tell how I feel right now. I completed the work today and tested the car. The bov didn't seem to let out any boost although there was a little flutter from the turbo. Im guessing this is due to low boost pressure and still having my stock exhaust on. I received my exhaust yesterday so this will be going on tomorrow and I hope to take some vids. Ah before I forget James putting this turbo on did make the car quieter as I thought because the turbo is dampening down the noise. So anyway the last bits to show what I did: 02 sensors need to be taken out Shot of the old exhaust off and old gaskets New gaskets I found the massive 4"" intercooler was moving about so I made 2 brackets underneith aswell as having the top brackets. Everything else was pretty much bolting everything on. In the end: Oil feed connected into my existing oil sandwich plate where I monitor oil pressure and temperature. Vacuum lines for bov and boost gauge. I need to take the car out for a spin just to check everything over and see what psi im running. I did notice a little smoke on the initial startup but I heard this is normal if you have handled the parts with oily hands also the exhaust wrap doesn't help! But other then that im really excited but its taken 5 or so hours of work to get everything to fit snug so now im off for a lie down "

Ah just to add I will be fitting my turbo blanket (keeps heat in) tomorrow also unfortunately I need to think what im going to do for an airfilter because the turbo still doesn't clear the dizzy cap. I've seen some other supra owners use mesh but i'll have to think on this one.

"Me and Lee at Fusion finally got this thing on. I wasn't joking when I said it was fouling on things... took us 3 hours to get it to fit. I must say the car is no longer lagging and the boost went up slightly just by having a more free flowing exhaust. On tickover the car isn't intrusive at all but put your foot down its awesome... still can't believe I got that 'single' sound on my car (exhaust tone of a single turbo supra)."

Yea hes going to knock something up. Also I found out he used to be a distributor for a local company that sold engine bling for the supra. Hes got the proto-types of all the caps engine bay sills slam panal TT heat shield and others... looks like I may have to take advantage of this for a Supra group buy

looking good mate looking forward to hearing it on thursday as for the bov it sounded nice on Saturday mate but it will be the low psi wait till you get that boost up and you'll see why you paid so much for the bov!

That was compression stall from the turbo James as its not producing enough boost to trigger off the bov. I have adjusted the bov today to open up... now it works
