So what he did was Make both TURBOS activiate at teh same time, istead of having one kick, and than anotehr kick at hiher rpm. Is that fine? or am i losign power?...
Running TTC is a bit slower, but not a lot slower.

About 1-2 hours if you buy a 100% complete kit, including the recirculation fitting(s) and hose(s).

The oem bov has been known to leak boost on some higher mileage Supras. A good quality aftermarket bov is a good investment, and will also work for a small single turbo. Midsize and large single turbos require either a very large bov (like the HKS Type II Racing, GReddy Type-R or the Turbonetics 'Godzilla')...either that, or two regular-sized bov's (eg. HKS SS, Blitz DD or GReddy Type-S).

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
