ALL INCLUSIVE GUIDE for "What NOT to do" FI version
I wanted to start this thread for all the forced induced people out there or people looking to be forced induced whether for racing or daily driving. Everything here is based on experiences that many of us have had and by and large, while there are some exceptions, this will serve as a guide of things, all inclusive, NOT to do.
I'll start, everyone else can add on as they see if, I do see this potentially turning into an epic and some will be banned, warned, etc for taking part in the festivities, check our allotment of infraction points before taking part, you have been warned.
-------------------------
You're boosting on the TRD ECU with a T3/T4 57trim eBay turbo at 8 psi of boost, stock injectors and no other piggyback but say the TRD ECU should be good enough and your AFR is perfect with the exhaust leak from the exhaust manifold....you're probably doing it WRONG.

You drive 120mph on the streets in the rain because you believe the forced induction gawds created boost for you and anything else is uncivilized, oh and because you think the bov is cool.

the best advice i can come up with is dont assume anything.Dont rush an install. There is not a magic tune that works for every app. Never ignore a possible variable, it could cost you your engine. never just drop your car off at a shop for a tune/install without asking about their experiance with the scion brand. Never half ___ an install.

Specific advice is not applicable, each application is different, stating what is obvious to some is not so obvious to others. To some just starting off, the obvious is not obvious, this will serve as a guide to answer all the "what if" type questions to aid us in flaming those who do something mentioned in this thread.
