SP quoted me 7,000$ drive in drive out - for my previous SC.
I run t3/t4. Generic hks style evc - 2 aux 550's in toyomoto piping, toyomoto manifold and haltec f5 controller. Along with a boost gauge and upgraded clutch. Mkiv (or is it mkiii) fuel pump. The car was purchased already built.
I have hit 19 psi at stock compression. I may or may not have done damage - the car is not boosting the way it used to. But I have not had time to check it out.
Basically, a less agressive turbo, a little fuel consideration - will get you boosting.
Good luck.

DGOT, me and gadget will be happy to help you decide what components you should use to hit your hp goals and stay within your budget. Call either one of us and we'll spend some time with you. awj, 19lbs o stock compression?? I hope that was very accidental, 'cause if not you are out of your mind, i'm damn surprised you didn't grenade the reciprocating assy, another testament to the strength of the 2JZ.

Yea, I did it on purpose - back when I thought I could afford it. I didn't know how high it would go and wanted to see. So I turned the high boost **** all the way up and pressed the boost 2 switch. Went wide open and saw 1.6kg cm^2 (wich is actually 22psi - but I don't think it will hold that much) on the peak hold of the controller. The boost gauge is in the glove box and I don't spend much time looking at it. It rumbled in first gear - but flew like a rocket through the rest with no indication of a problem. I did that twice - then turned it down to a psig reading off the boost gauge of 15 but I did spike to 1.4 a few times after that. Now months later, she isn't boosting correctly but again - as I've said in other posts - I think it is just a leak on a coupling or line somewhere. The car does not smoke or indicate any other problems other than a whiney ps pump and no consistent boost. I need to tear into it - it needs a clean up for presentation anyways. I'd like to go bigger but that will have to wait. I never did get it to a track this season. All though there is still time - I'm afraid to run it until I know what is causing the boost problem.
We will see I guess. Crazy or stupid. I haven't figured it out yet. My fiancee and checking account point to stupid though. I need to find a reputable dyno operator and/or tuner. I may just drop it off at SP in February and use the tax returns to get her patched up and set up with an agressive tune.

Well, that makes two of us brother.
Take it easy with the boost though! I wouldn't go over 10-12 psi on stock compression without any form of timing retard, me personally i'd never turn it past 8-10 pounds. With a BTM, standalone, or E-man, etc, I still wouldn't personally go past 12 psi. 19 psi is a crapload of boost on 10.2:1 CR, and if it did hit 22 pounds then you are even crazier/more stupid than Computer Wiz

I'm getting ready to blow up a stock GTE just for the sake of it, is that bad?
I want to set the new record and go way over that 980hp on a stock bottomend. hehhehe

Toyomoto stainless header, Sound Performance intake, SP74HO for now until he has a bigger turbo available, 1600cc injectors, SP400 tranny, and everything that goes with it.
I bought a new stock block from Toyota to put in there while I build the old one to handle 1200hp. Once the old one is rebuilt and ready, I'm going to just start upping the boost on this new block until something pops, hopefully setting a hard to attain record in the process. Not many people would pop a motor for just that.

Hey ComputerWiz, how come you want to bust the new block? Part of going for the record? Why not build the new block to handle the power and just blow the block already in the car?? Inquiring minds want to know
