I used to have 91 MR2s, a turbo and a non-turbo. Is your turbo?

If it is junk that stupid AFM flapper system and replace it with a HKS VPC. They are harder to find these days, but a Vein Pressure Convertor will remove tons of restrictions in the intake system.

There was a fix posted for the AFM for people that mistakenly got throttle body cleaner in it, effectively destroying it. Try the MR2 Owners Club website for that fix.
