You're very welcome. Personally though, I find the 'cutaway' and 'exploded' pics in the TSRMs (along with the torque spec for each and every bolt) much, much more helpful than an engine bay photo.

oh they are very helpful... jus finding the locations of the abs block and the cruise module and the such help to get me started, it wasnt such a big help... i am definately going to use the torque specs soon!

I'm being 'as serious as a heart attack' when I tell you not to bother putting your Supra together if you don't use the torque specs. In other words, if you don't always use the torque specs, the very best you can hope for is that part(s) on your Supra absolutely will fail, 100% for sure ... and the worst that can happen is that those part(s) will fail while you're driving at a high rate of speed (leaving us with one less forum member). I'm absolutely not exaggerating the risk in the least little bit! (I know other experienced forum members will back me up on this). A 74mm turbo puts your Supra at 900rwhp+ ... of course, it'll never hold together if one were to GUESS at how tight to make each bolt. I hope I have misunderstood you, and that maybe you haven't started putting anything together yet.

oh no, you definately misunderstood me. I said i was getting the engine bay ready to install the engine, and that i will be using the torque specs soon, meaning i havent gotten to that point yet, i am a professional tech, i repair exotics,ferraris, lambos and porsches, i most definately torque EVERY bolt, down to the t-stat housing! Glad to see that people here actually care though!!!! Thanks!!!!
