Turbo dropping problem!
It's me again. I think I have too much questions but I am new to the supra...
It is a sweet car but I currently don't know anything about. I want to keep a good maintenance and if possible restore mine to new condition. My supra is a auto. When I accelerate the turbo kicks in fully at about 3000rpm (as of any turbo cars would). But as soon as I keep the speed and not accelerate anymore , maintaining at 3000rpm+, the turbo drops. Is that normal or is there something wrong? Hope someone can help. Not only I am new to the Supra but I am new to turbo charged vehicle also. I love this car. I want to learn as much as I can about it so I can restore it to show it's glorry again. And I know this site would be a great help. Thanks guys! |

Yes, that is normal. The turbo boost pressure will increase a second or two after you mash the throttle...stay up for a few seconds...then drop back down.
(I have an '88 Turbo I have owned since late 1987...turbo boost has been that way since day 1. I also have a 2005 Subaru Legacy 2.5 turbo...same thing) |

yep, it's perfectly normal
 the boost will get up there when you first mash it and then with an auto it should hold or it may drop a little with stock parts

***suprra_girl***
I don't know if it is a stock turbo. It says toyota on the turbo but the guy who sold it to me said he got a different turbo that give the car more boost. But the thing is...after the boost, the turbo meter drops entirely. Back to -2. Doesn't even hold. Just drops as soon as I ease off on the gas. It is still normal??? |

if you are letting off the gas of course the car won't continue to hold boost

if you are at part throttle there is seldom enough load to create boost, its fine stop worrying
