Where did you route the downpipe? I was wondering where you found room, it looks like you don't have a alternator lol. A pic would be great...

So the story behind my absence is I've been super busy with school and work.. the turbonetics died on me the first day :'( my oil feed line had broke while driving... so we installed a Borgwarner S366 and I love it it spools amazingly quick I'm running a t4 .88 hotside and the compressor inducer is 66mm I love it.. I'm running about 11psi atm pump gas 93 stock timing at 12.2-12.5 afr runs like a bat outa hell.. been daily driving it for about 2 weeks now.. just ordered mk4 TEIN coilovers and soon some xxr521 18x10s to flush it on I'm super happy with everything but a tiny oil return leak.. and can someone please help me with this issue I have that I completely pull the key out and I still have. My dash lights on and power to the sunroof and Windows??? The other day my alarm went off on its own lol

He no longer use the safc and put instead a AEM F/IC. I´d recommend you to check on lextreme site for more info on boosting sc400s.

Hola Carlos! Reviviendo un viejo thread! I´m about to install it. On monday I have to go to customs to pick up the last bits I needed to install my turbo and hopefully in about 15-20 days I´ll have my beauty runing in na-t form! At very low boost as I couldn´t get some bigger injectors yet. If you have any or know who may sell, please tell me.
How is yours runing?

^^^What size injectors are you looking for? You can get some rochester Domestic style injectors for a good price. Look around on the web.

I´d like some 440cc, preferably plug and play as I don´t want to mess with resistors and stuff.
I´ll take a look there, thanks!

Hey guys! sorry ive been off forever Ive been super busy with work and family and stuff props to MMCTuner they sound amazing with turbos dont they? lol I was all smiles the day i fired mine up, right now im building up a 4.7 2UZ block i got the Eagle rods so far, Ill be running the tundra harness with the COP and a MegaSquirt Standalone, also looking into getting a Quartermaster 2 or 3 disc clutch, and make a custom sheetmetal intake with short runners to clear the hood cause the 4.7 one was tooo tall, i also bought megan racing coilovers and the gold 18x10 XXR521 all around, a few interior stuff, but the project has been put on a slowdown due to me being busy so damn often Ive been getting exposed to Drifting a whole lot more and every bit of it is sticking on to me lol so im planning on making this my fun daily/weekend slider

thanks for checking back on my build you guys
