[markmilward]

oh my god i love this car, had an fto b4, this blows it 4 power!, want dump valve fitting and turbo timer , what sort of money will i b lookin at, also how much for full membership on here guys, will post some pics later if i can

[Quigonjay]

wlecome to the club mate and take it easy, well for a while at least
looking at about 100-150 for a decent turbo timer, as for a dump valve, your car already has one so i assume you mean a vent to atmosphere dv? can pay anything from 80 - 250 though just make a noise and offers no benefit whatsoever, can even make your car run worse with your car being a rev1/2?
You already have full membership mate , imoc is a non paying site, well for the moment anyway

reducing intake temps by not dumping hot, post turbo air back into the intake makes no difference eh?

Welcome to the club by the way dude!!! =D>

do you have proof of your intake temps being lower after fitting this device?

get yourself a hks bov, its the daddy and ideal for a rev1/2!!
turbo timers on ebay around £60/70

No evidence I'm afraid, but you are dumping hot post turbo air back into the intake!

I prefer not to do that tbh, so I run an Atmos BOV

Added back up:

Hang on - how can you say a dumpvalve has no performance gains when what it does it stop you dumping very hot post turbo air back into your intake? By not recircing the air you are reducing your intake temps and therefore gaining power and reducing the chance of detonation.

CANT BELIEVE HOW NICE IT DRIVES FOR A J REG CAR!!, SO IF I AM FULL MEMBER DOES THAT MEAN CAN POST PICS, ALSO WHAT CAN I ADD FOR XTRA POWER?

[eddy simpson]

bigger intercooler, original cooler is not up to the job if you are planning powre above 300 horses! and some sort of electronic boost controller, i have a blitz sbc and does the job well, but there are better ones now.

As well as a decent exhaust, Induction kit and de-cat!

if steve or in fact anybody has proof that fitting a vent to atmosphere dump valve gave them more power i will gladly eat my hat

what induction kit do u recomend, had an itg on the fto?

[markmilward]

so what soet of horse power am i running at the mo, its completely standard?

[eddy simpson]

this seems to be a touchy subject, in my opinion the oe bov makes the car run better and slightly more responsive but not that much to make me stick by it and not change it at all. i had a blitz ss dump valve which gave me a bit of hassle with idle at times, but since ive fitted the hks bov its been great!!!

APEXI

Around 220 bhp standard matey

once again guys thanks, just a few more questions, whats the best fuel and oil to run these turbos on, and how regular should i service?

Hmmm, i wonder what was going through the Toyota engineer's mind then

Optimax fuel and fully synthetic oil!

Erm as for servicing i'm not really sure... i think its around 6k miles? tho thats probably wrong
