For some reason I can't seek a level of happiness with my Na-t gs300. I'm debating should I part out the whole car, or just go back non aspirated,or should I just sell the car period and move on. Tired of the money pit LOL !!!

Whats wrong with your car? What about it doesn't make you happy?

i debated this for years...you're right, moneypit...if you're in too far, keep going. If not, part out. I'm in this too far. I almost sold the whole car for 13k at one point...keeping it now

I'm in too far also but I'm tired I only drive the car one day a week now because the thrill is gone she is a fulltime garage queen

Boost is a pain in the *** when you live in a state that has emissions testing, I want to go with a standalone ems but then cel city here I come and my haltech f10x is very limited for adjustments

I see what you mean. I've been running the FIC and thus far with success. I have been tempted to move up to a standalone EMS but I haven't for the same reasons as you. How do you like the F10x? In end not very much since I'm assuming you can't get rid of the CEL to pass OBDII inspection?

Like speedaddict said, if you aren't in too far, then part out. But judging by the looks of it you are too deep to back out now. You have made it this far, just keep taking it a step at a time.

hang on to it...you have to change something up so you'll enjoy driving it again. I'm running the haltech sport 2k standalone. Can't get rid of the CEL's at all but it runs like a champ

part out your current turbo kit and buy JeffTsai's that apparently allows you to run boosted with no CEL and is good for 500 horsepower. . . .

Wow! all you guys get a CEL with your boosted GS's? How does anyone manage to have a turbo'd or SC'd GS without a CEL? I have read in many areas on these forums that certain members do not have any CELs (like SlvrGS300 mentioned with jefftsai).

The CEL would be an issue for me as well here in NY with the emissions testing. I am planning to install my SC in the Spring. Is it the standalone EMS you guys are using? Can I get away with my Apexi Neo by not getting a CEL?

neo wouldn't offer you the greatest in tuning options. You don't have any way to retard the timing. I get the CEL becuase of the standalone. Jeff says he can get a FIC to work without CEL but still...its a piggyback and isn't the best solution for tuning, esp on the Toyota ECU that loves to fight changes. If you're going to do a piggyback, go with the FIC
