Nice! Whats your input on it. worth it? Just happy, super excited? Details! hehe. As I asked the other guy in his post...can u track your MPG and see how much mpg u get, and what miles u have on a 1/2 and full tank? Just trying to compare to stock and learn.

I wonder on a long expressway trip in 5th gear if the mileage would be the same? What are the RPMs like around 70mph?

Its been garaged since i got it. It barely has 2 gallons of 91.

I will surely track the mpg because before i get 320-325 to a full tank and i average from 26-27mpg mix hwy and city.

But i did forgot to say i have to come back to the dealer because the ECM reflash kit was ordered last week and supposedly comes in tommrow, i wont have time tho to get it done til thursday or friday

Yes please get a dyno ASAP before you get the ECU re-flashed.

You would be the only person to do it and compair those numbers to the flashed 194whp. You may even have more power. No one knows... but you have a chance to prove it. It will cost you about $80 to have it done.

Now take that radiator plate, and tuck it under the OEM radiator shield, like it should be. Then all will be right with the world.

I wonder what Toyota tech thought about your radiator plate when he was doing my SC install today... Probably thought it came stock like that.

my buddys shop somewhere in gardena charges less than that for baseline runs but that still unecesarry cost for me since either way i have a good picture of how much power it can produce thanks to other forum member here.

^ Dedicated to DocI for putting it right ^



Parts i dont know yet what to do. Sell ? Injectors Oil pan timing belt etc



Just a shift **** i picked up while i was waiting to pick up my car



S/C box labeled outside, for those who still dont believe and argue otherwise




its #72 in the S/C list, still cant figure what its for



Assorted stickers i havent put on yet.



Comparison from left to right. Stock OE filter. OE supplied kit filter. Hydrocarbon filter supplied.



You cant remove the HC filter on top of the box filter because the Airbox wont seal right way.



Same as above. Pic 2



Mystery tube mounted inside the stock airbox



Mounted in the airbox



warranty info

HC filter is mounted on the frame that you need for the airbox to seal right, but the filter itself can be removed.

The "mystery tube" is actually a helpful thing if you don't want your car resonating inside at 5K+. Makes everything much quieter. I put mine back in.

Also don't forget to replace the paper filter in the kit with K&N ;)

Am I the only person that saw the "misprint" in the warranty document?

"so the above limitations or exlusions man not apply to you."
