Mr. Blurrycam, what have you found here??

[95CelicaST]

Should have picked it up today. It was dyno tuned this afternoon - making ~235whp and 200wtq at 6psi.


I say should have because there were two issues that popped up and the shop owner was not comfortable letting it leave until he has AVO come down from Seattle and have a look.

Problem #1 - the "over-pipe" section of the exhaust - this guy:


is running into the crossmember, causing vibrations. This is due to AVO making a couple of modifications to the turbo manifold. Since I purchased the "Stage 1" kit, it uses the stock over-pipe. So either AVO will swap out the turbo manifold with a different one, or they will need to give me one of their own over-pipes.

Problem #2 - after installation of the turbo kit, the car threw two codes - P000A and P0011. Both of these are cam sensor/ ACVS related. This is the primary reason they held on to it tonight. The guy from AVO will be stopping by tomorrow afternoon to check it out.

MOARRRR BOOOOST!!!

Congratulations. I imagine endless circular hooning in your future.

[95CelicaST]

Indeed, but not immediately. I will certainly need to assess the point in which the stock tires break loose... purely for scientific research, obviously.


From what I read, the best mod after turbo is a nice set of 17x9 wheels with at least 255 tires.

Get you a nice set of Enkei RPF1's of course.

Very nice! I want to hear the exhaust on this beast.

[95CelicaST]

Exhaust sounds stock.... because it is stock. Think stock WRX sound. That is what it sounds like.

Well, like you said, it's a good thing it wasn't the MR. People in big vehicles just don't see our low cars, and women specifically it seems. I've almost been backed into tons of times when trying to leave parkinglots by big dumb trucks that have no purpose in the city, but rather look to be better at home on a FARM.

My paint chipping on the front bumper is from a dumb asshat who backed into me and then took off, spiderwebbing the paint. I was too shocked to look at the plate and just accepted the fact that it would eventually peel, which it is.

Good luck dude. It hurts to see one of my dream cars get "run over" so early.

I was in Enumclaw at the time, which is a farm town. Nothing but giant trucks.

This whole story makes sense now! You were in enumclaw, no wonder! If its not the lifted trucks, its the cops camping on the 20mph highway zones.

There isn't a single place in this town outside of school zones that are 20 MPH zones.

School zone runs through the middle of town though, and then its goes to what, 25 I think?

Ummm. No? Downtown is 25 but it isn't a highway at all. The highways (410 and 169) don't have school zones on them.

Looks like someone was spying on your car through a cardboard box.

Nice, I totally missed that in your post. Those are some very respectable gains. How does it feel compared to stock? I've still got to go drive an FR-S. I've got a free test drive waiting for me at the local dealership, even though the salesman knows I have no intentions of buying one, nor can I afford one. I need to take him up on that.
