Default VPC hookup?

Has anyone here hookup a VPC in an SC300? If so, could you shed some light on how to hook one up?

It comes with an installation manual. Are you turbo'd?

I would contact HKS directly. I would also check on the MKIV board. Logic would say it is the same as the turbo models but ??? Actually, you probably have the vane type AFM and the Supras probably use a MAF AFM.

I do agree that you should get a nice power gain from reducing the restriction before the compressor inlet. Have you dyno'd?

I think the info you are looking for is in the Supraforums.com site under normally aspirated. Just do a search on VPC and look at the responses in the NA forum.

I got this link too:

DaveH was who originally came up with the diagram.
