Hi everyone.
I hooked up my boost gauge today. Got a chance to see boost levels on 1st and 2nd. I'm getting readings of 10psi. Is this normal? I'm asking because I cracked my top throttlebody/ic coupler when changing all ignition components... Car still pulls hard but i'd like to know from the gurus :D

What are boost levels like from 1st all the way to 5th?

Thanks,

Sal

Anywhere from 6-12, depending on what the TVSV feels like doing.

So the ST205 had the same TVSV system like the ST185? Strange, I would have thought that boost would have been higher. Actually I could have sworn that I recently heard someone talk about 15psi being the stock boost level for a ST205. :shrug:

I'm getting 10psi on all gears right now under WOT. I've been driving slow till I fix the leak.

I went to the stealership and they are asking 90 bones for the coupler!?!?!?!

Does anyone know if the 2nd gen coupler could fit with the 3rd gens?

Locker kindly offered me an extra coupler from a 2nd gen...

Sorry Sal.
I just got off the phone with Jackson's toyota and it came up as a Japanese only part and so they can't order it.
Its strange as I was able to order Carlos Sainz part numbers that were Japanese only.

oh the joy of finding parts for these things in canada... :cry:
I got an account on GT4oc and so far it has been well worth it. Shipping
costs are a punch in the face every time but its simple to find everything
and they're the nicest people ever. One member actually sent my friend
(kingcobb) a steering rack for nothing except shipping cost. I was also
able to find a set of refurbished 16" oz chronos for a relatively good deal :D

Get a shop to make you a ss one. It'll prolly cost around the same but I guarantee you it won't crack under any normal circumstance.

Just installed my 3'' DP with Masco all the way till 6am lol. Car's quick!

I'm getting 10psi in 1st and 2nd and 12-13psi in all other gears. Sound good?

Oh and this got me worried while removing the downpipe. It looks like the car's been running really lean? Maybe it's because of the extra air getting sucked in from the cracked ventilation case (OEM Catch can) (Masco and I decided to bypass the case for now)

Realllyyyy lean
