my truck is a 1988 toyota 2wd standard cab short bed. i stuck a 5m-ge motor in it out of an older supra. have a twin entry ct-26 turbo, 3'' downpipe, 430cc supra injectors, supra BOV, Behr 27'' by 17'' air to air IC, 2'' to 2.5'' IC piping, waste gate running a 2'' external dump, 26'' by 8'' slicks (not yet installed), welded locker, elec. fan,manual tranny motor remains internally stock for now, cuz im building 3.0 bottom end to go along with my ported head and new stand alone fuel/ign. system (megasquirt) right now im working on my oil and coolant lines for the turbo. Oh by the way.....my homedepot boost controller can be tweaked in cab......."JUST IN CASE THERES A LIL BLACK SYCLONE NEXT TO ME''

LOL... yeah, i used to use one of those home depot proportioning valves too on my external Progate when I had it on the truck. Worked well once it was in the sweet spot, then I got smart and spent the money on a real electronic boost controller....which can be tweaked in the cab also.

Its seems as though your calling me out....

Tell ya what. The Sy is down for the moment while it recieves a nasty little trans rebuild.



When its back rolling after some chip calibration and wideband tuning, i'll be glad to let ya know..... no "take it to the track" bullsh!t, i dont support TR's pleads of anti streetracing like so many others on this board.

good enough?

dont forget now.. im on your side, anyone with a turbo truck that can run numbers earns my respect.

proportioning valve? i made mine out of 1/4'' npt shyt and a spring and 1/4'' ball bearing....kinda shade tree, but itll handle around 15psi.......

but i would like to see the sy when its back on the road. always liked those things. but couldnt find one for a good price back when i was truck hunting.....

one of my sy buddies used a similar setup with the ball bearing...never could get it to hold solid boost.

this is the valve i used to have:




sytys are easy to find... FL has the largest number of trucks in the nation...just need to know where to look and be fast about buying.
