Answers from trusted experienced memebers PLEASE!! I've got too much $$ in this for inexperienced guesses, please.

Question 1: I currently have a Tanabe Super Racing Medallion (2.5" pipe).
Will this exhaust work ok?

Question 2: Plan on running at 7psi, but how high would be recommended and
still be very very safe from damage?

i think you can run to 8 psi w/o any problems. you can also build ur internals can run 10 psi

The exhaust will be fine. Why not run at 6psi, are you changing internals?

Exhaust will be fine, however getting a custom exhaust will increase power. I wouldnt go higher than 7 psi daily, just too much stress on the engine all the time, however you can run as much as 10 psi for racing as long as you have a good tune.

Yeah dont run at 8 psi for daily use. I would run at 6 psi for daily driving.

What do you guys think about turboing a 90 GT i found one and can send you the link if you want it. Right now i have dual exhaust, i replaced the resonator with a Y pipe and routed the exhaust to the side skirts i did a little internal work but not too much. I did stuff like overboring the pistons and replacing the camshaft.

holy snaps...auto GT represent!

my friend would like to know more info, he is planning on turboing his auto gt also.

that'll be a hella nice set up, however, aren't you worried about eating up your tranny with the increased power? i always thought the autos could only hold up to a little bit more than stock.

If your guys are talkin to me ive got a 5spd forgot to include that my bad, sorry guys. Hey if you guys know any really good sites for mods with anything to do with 90-93 celicas gimme a yell. If you guys wanna know more about my car ill tell you but just let me know i dont really know who you last two guys are talking to.

somebody beat me too it...im turboing next year...how much of a difference does i make ...i know you can feel it but tell me how much lol

Well Im plannin on runnin arond 7psi and they say run 6 as a daily and my car is a daily but at night ill crank it up to around 10psi to really get some kick. I dont recomend you runnin it high for a daily itll be too hard on the engine and tranny unless you did work to them like me. I can give you some ideas if you want too but let me know.

where do you go to order one?

thats awesome man! i've never heard an auto gt blow off! so you can set the rev limit with the new pfc right? thats cool that your one of the few turbo owners, but what makes it even better is you have an auto! i'd say ask the guy whos gonna install your turbo to decide what boost to run...i mean, he would know the best out of anybody! tell us how to ride is with the extra ponies!!!

The powerfc does not work on the auto's. I see he is using the split second ecu.
