Get out now while you still can lol.....

I am probably approaching 10k spent and still have alot to do in preperation for turning up the boost. Such as oil cooler/ tranny cooler/ new rad/ profec e01/ wideband O2 sensor... Rest of my car is ready for it. Emanage / New head job / Upgraded turbo / Tune'd up / New tires / Cleaned up / Hard IC pipes / New vaccum lines / new rad hoses / Full 3in exh all way back w/ divorced downpipe / New battery / Rewired knock sensors list goes on thats just what i can think of off top of my head.....


Sure ok... i could of gone this route ....
1. New head, 800 ?? est mhg 200-300 apr studs what 100? + machine labor
2. Upgraded CT-26 to 57trim from bigaron over at sm 500
3. manual boost gauge 25$ and turned it up to fuel cut....
4. Pray you everything in your car is working as it should. And hope you dont fuck anything up.....

Have you checked the codes your supra throws? Check out FAQ section outlines how to do it.....

The only code my car has ever had is when I broke the knock sensor it blinked a code of 52 which is a knock sensor signal but when I replaced it the code went away. anyone with ideas on how much estimated cost to just rebuild? Like I said i'd like to keep the car I just want to go the cheapest route possible. To me 10 grand is alot different than 2 grand. I dont want to put 10 grans in this car if it came down to that i would just find another nicer one that someone else has sooped up and done all the work to.
