man o man did i have a good day!!!!
i got the turbo in and solved the oil pressure problem. all i can say is WOW. at 50% throttle it is faster than the car was when NA at 100% throttle i had a ton of problems today. the piping kept blowing off at different places and then the gasket i made blew apart(used the wrong gasket material) but its all working now and im boosting at 6psi with no hesitation and a whole lot of noise. im running only a down pipe that i made myself until i can get one made on tuesday. so, yeah, after a year of parts gathering, hours of thought, and days and days of work, ITS DONE(well, the parts i can do that is) BTW, the best part was hearing the BOV, which is really really really loud. i could clearly hear it despite running open exhaust. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

at 50% throttle i get a swift kick in the ass 1/2 way through 1st gear. btw i have an auto tranny. on one drive, i made a left turn and the tranny shifted while at 6psi and right as second gear hit i ran over a part of the street with a small amount of dirt and lost all traction. the speedo went up and the car slowed down. btw 6psi is the air pressure created by the turbo. all non turbo engines technically run at around 14.7 psi which is the standard atmospheric pressure. increasing the pressure in the engine drastically increases the power the engine makes. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition
