Geo Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Please drive safe home. Most people underestimate the Supra with all the power going through the rear wheels. Enjoy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leelbuk Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I remember well how excited I was on the way to pick up mine (over 4 years ago now ) and mine was part BPU running 1bar. In essence I went from the 140BHP I had in my Rover Coupe at the time to about 360ish and I'm happy to say I got through it without incident by going steady - I'm sure you'll do the same Good Luck, Have Fun!

Any ideas for my firt steps in adding stuff??? Performance or styling? For performance I guess it's got colder plugs and a better pump etc. otherwise it wouldn't have all that stuff, basically there's not much more you can do other than go single. We need pics if you want styling advice, although that's down to you at the end of the day. You could get some gauges for the inside if it hasn't got any. Facelift lights and indicators. Dash trimmed and new dials. Seats re-trimmed. ICE stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil_Nuts Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 Yeah i was sure performance wise i was at a near no more stance, i have a few pics on my phone but don't know how to post them here, plus I'm at work so i bet my companies intranet wont let me...styling wise I'm more form over funtion, was thinking about some white Compromotive MO6's??? I have a boost gauge in the clock hole and the dash has been retrrimmed with chrome bezels.....oh and it has white TRD gauges too...eventully i was thinking of replacing the standard leather seats with lighter recliners and I'm a bit of a sucker for big jock off brakes!!! I'll be using her everyday to go to work and the plus point is I'm workshop Forman at a Toyota dealer so I will be keeping her in very rude health! Maybe i could text someone a pic of the car to put on here?? Cheers guys.....appreciate the help Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra-ireland Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 No you need to keep the restrictor ring, a boost controller can only increase boost not limit it. Really, I thought the whole idea was that you could set a max boost level with the controller. How can a boost controller increase boost? I thought the turbo would generate a max boost dependent on how much the exhaust system was restricting it with the boost controller / restrictor ring there to prevent the turbo from overboosting and killing itself.
