Never having worked on those components in a T.T. I picked up that snippet on here. It looks as though I've been 'Old Wives Taled'.

Seen it. There are 2 types of electric supercharger that actually do work, one gives constant boost yet requires a silly amount of batteries and the other gives a 2 second blast which can be used to spool-up a turbo and reduce the lag.

It's vision for parallel parking that I'd be concerned about, but maybe you never have to?

Look behind you.

Anyone risking using the supra in the snow? photos thread!

Parked it in snow drift and when I came back found it in lake.

It turns out the valve-body that was scanned and recorded by Parcel Farce as returned to U.S. 5 weeks ago and has been untraceable since, has turned up. I'll collect it tomorrow, I hope. The tyre delivery by City-Link, I have found in the back garden of an empty house number 5 in a village 2 miles way, the driver had abandoned it there and falsified my signature. Still no answer to my emails from the man who can't tell the difference between a hub and a pulley, but now two out of three wind-ups better off.

Looks like you'll need some parking sensors.

It's common for Japanese to buy a new car and never lift the bonnet until it grinds to a halt. Many of these unmaintained vehicles are given a back street bodge-over, then clocked and exported to us. Were just lucky that Mr. T. made Supra's of stern stuff.
-
It'll be the result of a cheap blow over in damp conditions, most likely the exporter or importer, it takes maybe a year or three to show up, but then an expensive job to put right. The exporters/importers have had your money, so grease up your wallet or live with a pimply Supra.

The main fuse is in the bottom of the No. 2 fuse box.

Same part, pull out, push in.

The fuel light is on and I was suspecting that the lack of weight at the back had found the limit of the winter tyres. A bit of under-steer, then for every bit of forwards the back went a little bit sideways, so I picked a new line and went in on half-handbrake. Then discovered that climbing a glacier was cause of the jiggery parkery.

One ECU does both for N/A, but T.T. uses 2. Yours is T.T. VVTI Tiptronic and I'm yet to tinker with one of those.
-
There's a separate ECU that controls the transmission. How much ATF did it take to get it back up to the mark?

What's the smoke @ 1.36?
-
It's all 3", I used an old mid-pipe flange cut down to fit the D.P. and welded 4mm? angle iron to it. The angle iron was wider on one side than needed and ground down to fit the shape of bell-housing, it fits hard up against the bottom of bell-housing which reduces twisting and gives more support, it's the simplest bracket I've needed to make for the project.

How to reset the Throttle Position Sensor?

Let me show you. More information here. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/group.php?discussionid=190&do=discuss

A simple and strong D.P. suppport like this would steady it.
-
Get the lights to function as they should and check all the wires are doing what they're there for, if that doesn't fix it, grease up your wallet.

If it doesn't, the torque-converter will be slipping power. http://www.aemelectronics.com/dyno-shaft-pro-series-on-vehicle-dynamometer-73/
-
That's the one. It's only bad if it happens when it shouldn't, or loses power if doesn't when it should.
-
Suck it and see, I wouldn't want to road test it in these conditions, the task would be a lot simpler on a hub-dyno.
