I drive a 94 ST. 84k miles, excellent shape. But im tired of its sluggishness. I always have the damn thing slowed. But thats nothing new with people who have 6g's. Anyways. My shocks are blown (Lowered 2.5" inches, stock shocks, 18" rims). I knew it would happen. So im gonna buy Koni Yellows - 600$
And this summer im going to send my car to XAT Racing for the 3rd gen swap w/ custom exhaust, etc(6500$). Should i get the fuel management they offer (1400$). Also, just wondering, where can you find turbo upgrades, and basic aftermarket parts for the 3sgte? Instead of selling my car and buying a 3000GT VR4, which i probably should do, the love for my celica is to great. Btw, i sold the bimmer. |

[right][snapback]227119[/snapback][/right] the external wastegate sits too high as in it will hit the hood? hhhmm what about those of us with vented hoods right there... say maybe the c one cf hood. how high is too high for the external waste gate? |

[right][snapback]227143[/snapback][/right] Dude, look at the picture I posted. You'd have to cut a hole in the hood man compare it to the placement of the 3sgte in the engine bay of a 6th gen celica, like this one shown here:  engines in our bay sit at an angle- take a look where the manifold attaches- and the angle it's at, and draw a line out for the turbo, then draw another line 45 degrees and up for that huge ass wastegate
