Will let you know

OK mate, maybe worth trying some other distributors that are on Blueprint's website or is it a general Blueprint problem?

Have just tried Central Auto Supplies - £88 incl VAT, good price. Will take 2 Wk's to arrange in, not in any hurry.

Good stuff mate, just a bit of a difference!!

Pleased that your back on the road again Paul

The car is back home now, scrape few speed humps on the way. Took it easy on the way home to be safe, then about 5 miles from home, it got to me and I opened her up to see if it was still the same as I remembered, it feels quicker but then I've been used to a little 1.6. But on the up side, I've now got a decat fitted, the car sounds like a V8 now.

Will take some piccs tomorrow, needed sleep more than anything else today. But don't start until Midnite, so gives me a bit of time to get the cleaning gear sorted for tonight

Xmas has come early this year

Nice to hear its running sweet again

So the replacement turbos were from a j-spec supra yay or nay? I just flogged a set of these for a ton as they were in my way in my garage. If they do fit this car then it opens up a whole realm of possibilities not least of which is a huge single conversion :)

They were off a MK IV Supra Engine 92 - 93, the same model as in the MK I Aristo TT. Not sure of the model of the turbo's.

[dangerous brain]

I did think they were the same torbo's. With it decatted have you got a boost gauge or other way of monitoring the boost? Also have you got an aftermarket free flowing exhaust? If you have its imperitive that you do get some way of monitoring the boost levels as they will boost excessively. Boost above 1.2 bar will damage the turbo's give you excessive internal engine heat and exhaust gas temps that will mak eyou wince.

Erm - Have only just got the car back , at present have got nothing to monitor or restrict the boost, tell the truth, not even thought of this. Will be something I'll need to look into.

Great to hear she's back Paul, give us a bell when you're free and I'll pop down sometime :D

Did you get a boost gauge sorted?

Got a Defi Boost Gauage and a Manual Boost Controller, waiting for the leather to finish the pod mount. Then to find out where and how to fit, not sure where the pipe is for the Gauage and Controller, hopefully will have the leather in on time to allow fitting of this lot before the Rolling Road, Not been using the car until I've got this little lot fitted.

Rolling road people will be able to tell you what the car is boosting at.
