05 1st Gen tC Custom Turbo kit.
New to the forum and im just curious to what people think of my setup...little info on the whole thing, got it for crazy-crackhead cheap from someone who claimed to have had it on their 1st Gen and made 422whp @16lbs..to say the least,I talked him down to the price I couldnt pass up..he gave me the following: Garret t3/t4 60-1/48 rear..Turbonetics wastegate w 8lb spring..BMPC fmic 24x12x3..HKS SSQbov 3rd gen..cast iron (POS) manifold -which I upgraded to a completely custom "medusa" high grade race manifold-..all the piping..manual boost controller and 3 guages(boost,oil press,a/f)......So not bad.....I also added new Deautschwork 550cc injectors aswell as TRD reflash on the ecu,still untuned. I have also eliminated the cat for a straight 2.5" pipe with a regency titanium muffler...
Im stuck between getting an AEM FI/C,A Greddy ULTIMATE,or just saying f-ck the bs and goin Megasquirt full stand alone..
Ill post pics soon of my baby so you can enjoy it as much as I do.

To be honest im not sure,the current lean/rich guage I have in doesnt work.I ordered an AEM UEGO this week so Ill have it in asap..It ran hard for the 6 months I had it at .5 bar even at wot and it would hold up fine..since the wfp the car has definately been running richer but its better a bit more fuel,rather than leaning it out at wot..also still on a stock original clutch with 95k miles on it lol,still ripps 3rd but since I bought the car back in 05 while working at Scion.bought it with 3 miles on it.Im the only owner...come from a line of racing.Not new to the scene by any means nescessary.

I say get an FIC and that Wideband AFR gauge ASAP. Also I believe people are having trouble with the TRD tune pulling too much timing so making good power may be a little tricky with the TRD tune.

Standalone > Greddy Ultimate > AEM F/IC
In that order. Get rid of that TRD reflashed ECU completely and get you another stock ECU. Don't know why people keep flashing with TRD when they are running a Turbo setup. It was not meant to be ran on a Turbo. It's not programmed to run 550cc injectors.
