Congrats on the purchase Adrian You are going to love the feel of the PI TC.
In terms of gas mileage; yes adding the TC does affect the mileage but like the old saying "if you want to play you gotta pay"
Btw I thought you were taking a hiatus from the car modding stuff for a while??? I guess not hmmm

Whats up Al. I did take some time off. The last time I did something to my car was the actual swap itself over year ago. Time flies..LOL

I think the vvt-i tranny set up is a 5 spd auto right? or is it a 4spd aswell? Everyone tells me that I can kiss any chance at decent gas mileage goodbye but I don't really drive the car much anyway so I guess for the performance gains I'll sacrifice the poor gas mileage.


The VVt-i turbo motor has a 4-speed just like the rest of the supras/aristos. It is a popular miscinception that it is a 5-speed. I have been told the internals match the supra trans. If I don't do with a GM transmission swap I guess we will find out when I send it to boost logic.
