Well that's a resounding vote for polishing then! Think I'll take you up on that Wayne and send it down to you. Can't be arsed doing it myself. Hey I've even thought of a lame performance-related excuse too, obviously a polished compressor cover will reflect more heat from the engine bay and therefore be cooler and heat up the charge less. How's that for an excuse for a bit of bling...

The compressor cover shouldn't get that hot at all, should be fine.

Well, I do have a polished rad pipe, and the intercooler pipes and intake pipe will be polished. I kind of want to, but then again I'm a lazy bugger... Here's the compressor housing as it is at the moment, after drilling and tapping the boost reference.

Here we go, here's a photo of mine. I took the adjuster, LED and launch control button out and drilled holes in the dash and mounted them direct like so...

I just whipped the compressor housing off my new turbo because I need to drill and tap a hole for the boost reference. It's not polished at the mo, just a rough casting, so I was just thinking "maybe I should polish it up". Not sure if I can be arsed though! What do you reckon, polish or not to polish? How much effort is it likely to take by hand?

You could take the box apart and fit the contents directly into the dash. That's the best way.

Yeah, but don't forget that hoses are normally sized by internal diameter whereas clamps are sold on the min and max size they will clamp which is the outside diameter of the hose they are going on. So you need to add some on for the thickness of the hose. That's caught me out before.

That's because the manual is for the US/UK Supra, which does have a second O2 sensor in the 2nd cat. On a Jspec there is nothing in the 2nd cat, the cat temperature sensor is in the 1st cat and you can just tie it out the way.

The stock MAP sensor is good up to about 1.2BAR, can't remember exactly. After that you will need a different MAP sensor yes. Don't know anything about the Power FC, so I don't know which ones are suitable for it.

Because the standard fuelling at 1 BAR is rich enough (just about) to support 1.2BAR. Any more and you need something like an Emanage which has its own pressure sensor to augment the stock one.

You should have two plugs. One comes with the Emanage itself - that's the one in your top pic. You put the cables from the injector harness into that one (as has been done in your top pic). The other one comes with the ignition harness.

No, the injector harness is just a load of connectors that fit into the main Emanage harness plug.

Yes it's fine, that's what's in mine.

I've seen BL05 JOB on a Corvette...

I think they're all pretty much the same. I got mine from Maplins I think ages ago, very handy tool. They are powered by butane lighter refils. Machine Mart have loads too.

Actually I'm pretty sure it's something at our end as Supraforums is doing the same sort of thing.

The forum's gone a bit screwy for me at work today too Lee. It was fine yesterday. Seems to be a problem when there are more than a certain number of posts/threads per page. I've switched the number of posts per page to 5 which lets me read threads OK now, but the thread list is still knackered. IE6 here at work, but our gateway does have a habit of screwing around with Javascript so I don't know if that's causing grief.

Is it the hose that's leaking or the fitting? When I fitted my Aeromotive reg the new O ring that seals the fitting into the rail had a slight chunk out of it which I didn't notice at the time. That caused a slight leak.

It's 33-40psi according to the Toyota service manual. Bit of a range! I always thought it was 40 as that's what I was told when I asked ages ago, but that's the top end of the range. That's static pressure, i.e. bridge the FP and +B terminals in the diagnostics port and turn the ignition on, but don't start the engine.

Argh no! Mistaken for Paul, what a nightmare... They fine you what they feel like at the time pretty much. Just don't go too mad and you'll be fine. You'd have to be going some to get a 500 Euro fine.

Ah don't worry, if anyone there has dared to post something from here up there I'm sure Martin will ban them before too much longer... After all we're all evil sign-bashing nutters over here.

Again in theory yes, but I drove all round Europe with mine in the glove compartment because I couldn't figure out where to stick them on Supra headlights, so it's not going to cause you a problem. No, your car is registered here, so that's fine. It isn't endorsable, and they have to actually stop you - if you get caught by a speed camera (not that there are many) you're fine. If you get caught you will get an on the spot fine (anything up to 500 or 1000 Euros), and they can confiscate your license. It will get posted back to you in the UK, but you won't be able to drive in France which would be a problem of course! No, those kind of regs are all different in different European contries and are assumed to be the responsibility of the country you come from. You don't have to carry a warning triangle, medical kit or fire extinguisher in France. The one thing in France you must NOT have is any form of speed camera detector. They are illegal, and if the police think you have a radar detector they will rip your car apart to get at it and destroy it on the spot, plus fine you 500 Euros. In theory the GPS ones are OK because there are no French databases, but if they think it has radar detection as well they'll destroy it and let you argue about it later. So leave them at home!

Don't think they're doing one this year? There's nothing on there atm.

The one we did last year was pretty good: http://www.graymoose.co.uk/fantasyf1/ It's free, and you can change your team between races which makes it much more interesting without being mega complicated with income & stuff.
