It's kind of short, but here's the youtube vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rMEy3s8I7s
You'll have to pause it to see the number on the monitor. Unsmoothed, it's 838 whp. The attached dyno graph is smoothed.
Hehe... if you look closely just below nose of the car, you can see some white smoke. That's one of our supra members spraying nitrous on the intercooler. :P
Here are some pics of the car at the dyno event:
Random pics of the meet:
Enjoy!

Sorry... one more spam. The thing that really put the car over the top was a new exhaust. I went to a 4" DP/MP combination to dual 3" mufflers from Vibrant Performance. I also had the WG recirculated so the car didn't sound like a truck under boost.
Here are some pics of that work. Notice the angle of the WG piping back into the midpipe. That's to keep the turbulance low when recirculating the bypassed exhaust into the main exhaust.
Here's the blending of the WG output into the 4" MP:
My main concern about opening the exhaust was boost creep; fortunately, it wasn't a problem. I'm using an HKS GT wastegate, and it is plenty big as you can see in this picture of the flexed section on the output of the wg.

Very Nice Scott.
Congrats on the new numbers. I can't wait to throw my car on the dyno once I get it back the turbo back from PTE (Oil Leak). What gas were you running on the dyno (ie; q16/c16)? Exhaust looks very clean; reminds me of my car. Got any rear shot of the car to view the mufflers?

I was running C16. The attached image is a camera phone pic of the mufflers. They're 5x9, 3" double offset, straight through, Vibrant Performance 1127s: http://vibrantperformance.com/catalo...ef1128cda905c8
Now get that turbo back and put me to shame!

Very clean setup
Once the turbo is back I plan to tune on E85 (Street) and Q16 or C16 depending on what my tuner has instock. I'll def update you, hopefully i'll crack the upper 900s at 35lbs...maybe even quad digits.
Also scott, what compression and h/g are you running?
