Jarod, you'd never guess what I did. I traded in th TC. I was so close to ordering the turbo, but I fell in love with a black 2006 Nissan 350z and worked out a great deal. Call me up if you have any questions with your tc bro, I'll try to help you.

yeah man, I called several installers and none where knowledagable or intrested in my project so I was like f it, am going to get myself a new ride with the money I was going to spend on a turbo. I love the Z, but I know once you have your turbo up and running smooth you'll pull on me, but I'm happy with the decision I made. If it wasn't for trying to find a good installer that wasn't trying to ripp me off I would have turbo'd my TC for sure, but every other place was charging me $1,500 + guages, tune and so forth. Let me know bro, I'm still going to keep on scionlife cause' I have sevaral dawgs with TCs and the classified sections ahs great deals from time to time, peace.

So I finally found what the frick was wrong with my car. A pipe coming out of the intercooler came out of the coupler. From a top view, you couldn't really see it. So I got under the car and sure enough, it was off. Fixed that and the car is running great. I dyno tuned it on Sat. on a Dynojet and it registered 209HP and 209TQ @ 5psi. I'm rather happy with those numbers. I'm taking it back in a few days to really iron out the tune and squeeze every last HP and TQ gain I can at 5-7psi. Right after me, a Twin Turbo Right Side Drive, RX-7 got tuned at 550HP and 525TQ!!!! Put my car to shame. It was L.O.U.D!!!! Thanks for everyones help, except Mightygnu, you added nothing. LOL 
I keeed I keeed! ON a side note, the guys who tuned my car were impressed with my set up, said it was a real solid kit for the money. Thats good to hear.
