Glosphil Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 Agreed mate but.... I think it's just the way it's being asked. The comment about "fast as fook" and topless girls makes me a bit blasé about answering such questions. It builds a mental picture that I'm not too keen on, sorry. Sorry to have been trying to make it a bit light hearted. I will be cold, unemotional and serious from now on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glosphil Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 Basic Performance Upgrades The catalytic converts are very restrictive on the TT Supra and are used to limit the boost. Removing the cats helps the turbos spool up a lot quicker and will allow the turbos produce more boost. Infact they allow the turbos to overboost so you'll need to limit the boost by fitting ring in the exhaust to restrict the exhaust gasses. Do a search for BPU, with a few easy and relatively cheap mods, you should be able to get between 370-400(crank)hp. Welcome to the club, anything you cannot find an answer to ask away. cheers Thanks for the respectful answer, very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Yeah, c'mon dudes it's a fair question if the guy is enthusiastic, play nice. Someone asking what people's top three performance mods are shouldn't get this sort of response. -Ian Hey, mine was direct and to the point (rare for me ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glosphil Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 Right ok, now the next big question. Where near Gloucester can I go and say please do BPU's.

michael Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 MKIVStore.com but they are a bit like the A-Team when it comes to getting in touch. "If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can make contact with them, maybe you can hire MKIVStore" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming from an Audi TT, the Supra will feel extremely lively.....rear wheel drive and winter coming, get a few miles in before upping the power 25% The TT was last year, I've had 3 cars since then. I've got a Boxster S at the mo. Its faster than the TT, but still feels slow to me, I need something with some power. I test drove the Supra, and while it feels fast, there is not much in it between the porsche and supra. I want it faster, its what I want, its what im willing to pay for, so thats why lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyknox Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I understand what you mean, asking the right questions in the right way and providing all relevant information, does help get the answer you are looking for.

Mine is being BPU'd as we speak and I have just had a phone call stating that my clutch is now slipping. Might be worth adding that to your wish-list *RPS MAX SERIES clutch* Unfortunately I do not have the cash, so this was kick in balls for me.

lust2luv Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 1. Seat Re-trims 2. Privacy Glass 3. Glass Headlights 4. Topless bird laying on bonnnet ? 2 would seem to cancel out any headturning effect of 1. And the bonnet's aluminium, so I wouldn't let anyone heavier than Kylie lie on it. 1. on the performance front should be decent tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underworld Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Heh id do what I did just get used to crazy twin turbo rwd experience then start to go BPU. (Tip: No 2nd turbo in damp conditions) Yea i think you still need a ring if you got fcd. Surely the fcd is stops the stopping of over boosting?

Underworld Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Wow rob you got your BPU shizzle damn cheap! Exhaust and pipes for 250? Plugs for 15!!! :o You havent bought these off the back of a lorry right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the FCD is fooling the ECU so it thinks the boost is under 1bar then does that stop the ECU from thinking there is overboosting? How is overboosting monitored? What tells the turbos to stop spinning so fast? I'm really not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian R Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 When my Supe was stock it used to waste the poor mans porsche s. You are talking a totally different animal with a Supra trust me when I say I have seen so many newbs and those that have owned for sometime starting to post up threads on how they have managed to total there car from now till March each year. Be carefull and don't be another of those (killed my Supe threads) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
