I would not know where to start James !

After 2000 miles or so, what a nightmare !

No cant see any

Its spinning ok by hand, just sounds noisy, would a video clip help ?

It looks like it is at the very top of the down pipe to me, Ex temp gauge was working fine throughout

Took the Supra to mates house yesterday, 70 mile trip, took the GF so no on boost driving really, left their house and made my way down the M1 back to London when I heard a metallic noise from the turbo, on boost it sounded like a band saw cutting through metal, then all boost lost and no noise from turbo, no smoke not drama just lost the turbo, AFR's were fine so limped towards home, 10 mile to go turbo wakes up again and same metallic noise, boosting as it should however Got home and removed the filter, the blades look fine but the shaft does move left and right, can I really have lost the turbo, its only 2000 miles old and has not seen boost very often I was not on boost when the noise started !!

Yippeeeeeee Good start to 2009, lets hope that continues Happy new year everyone, have a good one My GF was laughing at me sitting at the PC waiting to post rather than getting on with the festive stuff, go to love the forum

Happy new year

I thought that would be a very poor weak car once done ? Plenty of nice ones out there at the moment to choose from, think a 355 would be nice

Your car needs nothing IMO, leave it as it is, the one off carbon will be expensive thats for sure. If you have to get a price I would PM Supramemole who was making a lot of bespoke carbon bits in the US

Dont forget we are adding a second to the clock at 23.59.59

My daughter is staying with me for new year for the first time in 4 years so Cinema, Pizza and some TV to see the new year in

100% both my 264's and 272's had HKS stamped on them

I have 2 Alpine units out of my car, both fully working when I (Matt Harwood) took them out

I would be willing to take a UK spec in PX for mine if you thought a mid sized single 6 speed was your bag, my spec is OK

What are you looking to buy when sold

I like goose and duck for xmas, but I always cook the legs in goose/duck fat in the oven until they are ' confit ' as they are too tough roasted The confit meat is wonderful and can be flaked off the bone and stuffed into hollowed out roast potatoes

Continuing with the xmas theme and as I am stuck at work, how do you cook your turkey? I truss mine then poach in chicken stock at about 80oC for around one and half hours, then remove from liquid (keep this to cook the vegetables and make the gravy) Then smear with butter, thyme and sea salt and roast in the oven with the potatoes in the same tin, leave to rest when cooked (80oC+ in the centre) and use the pan juices to make the gravy

Since getting it back I had forgotton how quickly the Supra gets you to license loosing speeds before you know it, had a little play with a Noble on the way to the go kart event on Saturady and WOT forth gear pulls are ' interesting ' in the cold and damp

Welcome So was the 650 BHP figure a guess or dyno proven?, the T88 will make that figure no problem, its the support mods you have to consider My car was a Jap single and they do like to run some odd spec's to get the power, I would be checking injector size,etc, do you have an AFR gauge?, is it a built engine ? questions questions

The combined power of the Euro economy against the shrinking UK economy was as I predicted some weeks ago always going to see the one pound buy one Euro, the worrying thing is it may get much worse My annual golf trip to Spain is going to be very expensive this year

My UK spec T78 Auto car a couple of years ago was owned by a wheelchair user before me and he found the set up fine with hand controls, the auto box was a boostlogic item, it will need to be uprated for big power single cars, a T61 will be ok on a stock AUTO with a cooler for a while

Sounds like you need a Euro LHD Small single Auto, should not be too hard to find Does it have to be an auto

That US car is a real drag spec car, the TH400 box is not very nice to drive for general use, it would be very laggy also, what are you looking for in a Supra? every day use or a drag car

Its in the US, its LHD, its power figure is questionable on that turbo it is for sale though yes
