On a sidenote...Would you guys be able to make one of these with an HFC for a Toyota 1mzfe V6 motor? I have it installed in my 91 MR2 and I'm going with a Holset HX35 twin scroll turbo.

If you're interested, can you PM me? I'm very excited & would love to see what you guys can do with this

side note this was on low boost set up at about 15 psi...

thanks JT for keeping me focused tonight!
theres a bit more info to share but ill let Jt tune in to explain whenever he gets a chance... apparently... there was more in that run that i didnt get to run...

I might have to try that. It appears this cannot be used if you turn off your wastegate and just run spring pressure since the upper part of the wastegate is blocked off from the atmosphere. Is that correct?

dunno, always used wastegate control. but it works to hold big boost on small springs

OP, sounds like a solid run will display the awesomeness of this kit. cant wait!

Thumbs up

Just want to give JTran a bump. I was lucky to have him build the fuel system for my car and I saw him go the extra mile when it wasn't needed. He invited me into his home and is always willing to pick up the phone when I call for stupid questions. I will never let anyone else touch my car and will trailer my car to Houston from Dallas ( i have ) if it needs to be worked on.

and the fact that the powerlab is a gt35r turbo verses this 4088r. Nice size difference in turbo.

Me and the OP are good friends. My comment was meant more for a comparison that I'd like to see aswell as all our other friends. The OPs build is by far superior when compared to the POWERLAB kit. I really just want to see how bad he whoops me at 16 PSI and then on his high boost 22PSI MAP.

BTW. My Z made 508RWHP on JTs Mustang Dyno several months ago. Not bragging or anything just solidifying the fact that it's very difficult to break the 500rwhp barrier w that kit ;-)
