I worked in customs clearance for 8 years! tell me what your importing, how much freight and insurance is and I can tell you exactly how much tax you will pay.

Got the boost controller in, (thanks to advice from mick) its very to hard to adjust the pressure without a rolling road.. stop start..stop start..managed to get it to just under 15, hit fuel cut after 10 so turned the FCD to max.. seems to be working ok for now. turned it back a little further so hopefully Im at about 12 now.. definetly notice the difference when it keeps pulling for those extra few seconds and the speedo is cranking quickly to the right. :D makes a cool little wooshing sound too.. fingers crossed.. still more fiddling to do tho.

Just saw a gen4 3sgte on ebay out of a caldina with 250Hp and only 60k supposedly... how tempting.. gotta stop looking on ebay.

Thanks Trent, sounds like good advice.. I am a little wary. the motor only has 119k on it.. so fingers crossed it doesn't go boom..

message or massage? I wont be massaging any males that night! :D

Well I couldnt wait for tomorrow, so I plumbed it into the cabin (but not mounted or lighted) and it hits 9psi max.. so the boost controller is going in tomorrow. see if I can get about 13psi.. supposedly this is a safe level for this motor. Anyone heard different?

THANK YOU... just the answer I was after.. so I had it connected properly afterall. Didnt get to do it this arvo.. tomorrow for sure.

Those are the recirculating types youre talking about, cant remember the technical term.. anyway the ones you always hear on WRX's going off are illegal for sure. Ive had enough cop harrassment in my driving life, so I'll pass. There isnt much room in the gt4 engine bay to hide much sadly, that already crossed my mind. :D

Thanks for the input.. I'll try again.

I thought for sure when I revved it in neutral it would show boost.. maybe there is no boost in neutral.. makes sense I guess, will try again tomorrow with the car MOVING this time. I connected it up to the rubber stopped pipe on the back of the inlet..

I hate NSW.. we cant have BOV's.. the police state it is..

OK so Im a dumb *****.. this is normal isnt it? Ive read some posts on other sites.. Only when the car really gets going does the needle go positive? I gave the accelerator a poke in neutral but it didnt go positive.. hmm

cant open that link... literally any vac hose on the inlet manifold.. all the vac lines Ive seen posts on this site and others.. still gauge seems to show suck not blow..

So I got a boost gauge... Ive connected it to all the suggeted places Ive seen over the net and the gauge is showing vacuum not pressure.. what am I doing wrong?

Just adding this for future readers.. I searched for hours trying to find this part. Toyota Australia will charge you $370 for this part sent from JP, I got mine from the USA for $240 including shipping by DHL.. (dealer direct parts) You know you need this part when you start hearing a loud clunk every time you change down, and sometimes up a gear. I originally thought the huge exhaust was thumping on the bottom of the car.. but no. Its such a horrible noise it sounds like the diff has shat itself. Anyway here it is.. getting it fitted tomorrow by mechanic as you really need a hoist to do the job. Geez I'd love a hoist.. :D

Good Job! Sounds great and looks good too.. look out WRX's.

$280!! you can do all my bargaining dude! lol looks awesome. :D

Reminds of the time my AE82 4AGE caught fire on President Avenue, Kogarah in Sydney in peak hour! Pulled over when the smoke was coming out the bonnet, it was the oil cooler hose split and spraying oil on the exhaust manifold and on fire!! Lucky for me I stopped in front of a house that had a hose laying in the front yard.. that was a close one! Would have lost the car if that hose hadn't been there.
