ok I just finished installin gmy boost gauge :p

tomorrow I will put everything back to its place :)

 

Can't wait to install my exhaust line next :)

 

As I live in a very hot country, I prefer waiting to have a new intercooler before installing my boost control.

Nice looking car and some good work on the dash.

Im sure i used to have the same set wheels as you on my supra when i first got it from Japan. If they are the same they are a very rare set that was only on sale in Japan and are now discontinued. As i found out when when i damaged one of my wheels and couldnt replace it forcing me to buy a new set:(

 

Good luck with the build it should be a good one

ok :)

 

I just installed the following :

- down pipe

-> I add some thermal wrap from DEI.

- mid pipe

-> I add some thermal wrap from DEI.

-> I plug my AEM AFR gauge to it.

- restrictor ring

- changed the fuel filter

- did the 12V fuel pump mod.

 

I'll install this week my walbro fuel pump + denso ik22 spark plug.

 

I didn't notice any important change in the exhaust sound... maybe at the idle... I'll have to run more the car :)

 

can't wait to install my new plugs (I received them yesterday) because since 2 weeks my car has some hesitations with the 1st turbo :(

 

pictures (the 2 last one are when I looked some details...wow... I think I'll have to work here too) :
