Ok, I'm not very educated when it comes to turbos and associated mods. By changing the timing you are going to make the incomming air help push out the exhaust.  I think.  BUT the manifold pressure thing....  How you gonna fool the computer there?  Also, is there a parts total price yet? Where'd you get your afc by the way?

i got my afc from ebay. right about the timing, that's why i had to make a check valve for the MAP sensor that bypasses the excess pressure. very easy, took like 30 bucks to make. the check valve is like a BOV or wastegate for the MAP sensor setup. you could also get a 2 bar MAP sensor from an MR2 turbo and use that instead, but that will cost more $$. i'm eventually going to get a J&S safeguard which has a great check valve, so my setup is just temporary, but it'll do the job.

i'm not sure on a total price yet, i got a really good deal on most of my stuff... probably about 3500 so far, and i still need to get the downpipe and WG pipe made. BUT! i went probably the most expensive route you could go. i bought everything new, and got a lot of toys that you don't need.

incidentally, if you have a 96+ celica and are going turbo, be careful of your intercooler selection, as we have smaller air opening than the 94-95 ones. not a big deal for the intercooler, that will get enough air, but it will block air to the radiator. not good!

i'm not sure what i'm going to do about this yet, probably i'll wait and get a gt4 front end, which will delay the install a little, but, eh, i'm a patient guy.
