With all that room it woud't fit with the fan? wow. I looked at my friends engine(95talon) the other day. There was like 'no room.'

nah, it's a problem of clearance for the turbo and manifold. with the setup i'm running, i'll have to remove the fan, and use zip ties to pull the radiator farther forward... not a big deal, tho.

It would be down here in the 'Swamp Heat' State.

about how much did all this cost you? and from where ?

i got my afc from ebay. right about the timing, that's why i had to make a check valve for the MAP sensor that bypasses the excess pressure. very easy, took like 30 bucks to make. the check valve is like a BOV or wastegate for the MAP sensor setup. you could also get a 2 bar MAP sensor from an MR2 turbo and use that instead, but that will cost more $$. i'm eventually going to get a J&S safeguard which has a great check valve, so my setup is just temporary, but it'll do the job. i'm not sure on a total price yet, i got a really good deal on most of my stuff... probably about 3500 so far, and i still need to get the downpipe and WG pipe made. BUT! i went probably the most expensive route you could go. i bought everything new, and got a lot of toys that you don't need. >>

hhehe, i'm quoting myself. but remember, i went pretty much as expensive as you can get, a lot of this stuff is optional. for example, i got an external wastgate, which was like 250, but you can get a turbo that has an internal one and it will be cheaper, or you could get a manual boost controller instead of an electronic one.

If you wanted to go cheap. What would you say the main parts for boost are?
1. turbo(built in bov)
2. manifold
3. down pipe
4. optional intercooler
5. assorted lines
6. assorted pipe

Did I miss anything?

yea u missed the fuel part of a turbo set up. You would need bigger injectors and an safc. Or a fmu and injectors, prolly a better fuel pump, fuel cut defenser?

fmu is cheaper, yeah you need more injectors. you also need the oil lines and fittings. and a manual boost controller, i imagine.

correct me if i am wrong but i dont think a check valve is needed when you are running an SAFC(super air flow converter) it will just modify the signal from the map anyway no matter what the readings are.

and BTW, you cant adjust the timing, the distributor on the obd2 celica st's(96-98) are locked. to unlock it you will have to buy a new distributor mount and elongate the hole that the locking bolt goes in(Just a heads up, im planning on doing this this weekend)

In Italy the distributor on the ST is variable on stock on both 94-96 and 96-98 models.... >>

yeah, the SAFC does modify the signal, but with boost, the MAP sensor will go apes**t over all the air comin in, and try to fuel cut and stuff, so you have to use a check valve.

dammit, thanks for letting me know about the dizzie. let me know how your mod goes. would you mind taking some pics?

sure i will try to get the part this saturday and do it on sunday, i have work on saturday and i have to test out a 2000 celica gt-s for a friend tomorrow(and it is about 50 miles away)

i will try my best to get the mod done.

oh and thanks for the info on the MAP sensor, i too have a check valve(that is adjustable for different pressures) purchased for $10, i guess i will have to use it after all
