Default Completed XA Turbo Toyotas Kit

My kit from Turbo Toyotas has finally been perfected. It's on my car tuned with the e-manage system. I will let you know what it puts down to the wheels soon. I will take lots of pics and post them as soon as I can. I'm currently planning on running a methanol system with 93 octane. Where I live 118 octane is available at the track for racing. I will keep you posted on how it turns out. The next thing I want to do is convert my transmission from an automatic to a 5 speed manual with a stage two or three clutch. I'm already getting the parts together. I hope everything goes as planned.

Can't wait to see some pics of your xA and of 8psiXA. Keep us updated.

In the future I would also like to convert my auto to manual. Keep us updated on that also.

Default Updated Informaton in regards to turbo

I finally got some pics of my car! Just wanted to point out that my intercooler isn't mounted upside down, PWR sprayed their logo upside down on it... lol I had to have pipes custom made to fit on my car because it's the first automatic XA with Todd's kit (aka Turbo Toyotas) and the pipes for the 5-speed tend to go right where the automatic transmission is located! Everything seems to be running great! It's currently making 8 to 8.5 psi atm. I would recommend this kit to anyone that wanted to run F/I on an XA! It’s absolutely incredible the amount of power that it added to my car! It's very deceiving. Sorry I’m such a noob… I have no idea how to post pics in a post… As soon as I can figure it out I will get some up here as soon as I can.

Awesome can't wait to see some pics.

Does Todd have pipes made for the Auto? Did they fix the intercooler?

1FastXA post your F/I setup.

That looks awesome 1FastXA.

What else are you running with the Turbo? Now you should do a video.

quick question. i've read that an engine damper is a must with most kits since the placement of the turbo is pretty close to the firewall. any truth to that or is it just crap forum talk?
