				i just purchased a celica with a st185 swap from decker here on the forums. reading up everything now. 
			
			any suggestions or tips for what not to-do's or anyhting other helpful links would be appreciated. so for what i know, 2nd gen 3sgte which reads about 12-13 on the boost gauge. driving it back to houston from kansas city the air/fuel ratio was jumping crazy between lean and rich the whole time. not sure if defected meter or something else. also realized that the top mount intercooler isnt a good idea but im still reading and researching on that. And also trying to find how to get a BOV on the setup(i want that "patishh" sound keep in mind that this will be my first turboed/swapped car, so im pretty much the dumbest of dumbest...dont really know much. any tips and suggestions work. -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer

				Closed loop, I think, is where the ECU works from a set map to determine air and fuel, under certain conditions. Open loop is where it takes readings from sensors to determine air and fuel. For example, cold start is at closed loop, once at operating temperature open loop occurs. Please correct if I'm wrong...
