what is the best computer mod ?
Just getting ready to buy a performance mod for the computer. I have heard that superchips may be a good brand to buy . What do you guys think.

Very few cars can get more than one or two horsepower TOPS out of a factory "chip" like what Superchips and others sell. Turbo cars like Subaru's and VW's and diesels get a bump because of boost and timing increases, but a regular n/a car will not benefit, at least not for the price. I wouldn't waste my time if I were you.

good advice. I will save up for the big upgrade then. I really like the underdrive turbo system for the exhaust. i have a 1995 sc400 4.0 , i wish there was a lesson on how to make a turbo work like a subaru 
. I would hate to hear my coolant hose explode under my hood . Any advice on how to make this thing work properly would be awesome!

in other words subaru has a great drivetrain. simmode1 i suggest you help people besides criticize them ,what goes around comes around. Anyways for those mature members who really want to help me, A STS rear mount turbo sounds like the right way to go. Any idea on a suggested size of the snail that will work well?

We're not trying to be dicks here, man, but your questions are way too broad and really don't make a lot of technical sense. It's like you're trying too hard to sound like you know your stuff. Just relax, take your time and learn. We're here to help, but you've gotta do your part too.

According to super street magazine emerald used a t-66 on her sts rear system. http://www.superstreetonline.com/fea...rer/index.html

dont compare nissan and toyota. its like apples and oranges when it comes to factory ecu modifications. the nissan ecu can be made to work with a daughter board and an eprom reprogram on just about any older model nissan.
the only company that i can think of that has the secrets behind toyota factory ecu is Mines since they sell reprogrammed one. i figure toyota gave them the info or they paid up the booty to get it.
what is your basis for saying that vvt-i engine should be left alone.
