I need to get another wiring diagram for the 93 cause i dont trust Haynes and they're "typical" wiring diagrams . from what i've seen Mitchel has the most accurate so my roomate will bring one home with him tonight.
I have all my new sensor hooked up

oil pressure & temp

coolant temp

I gutted the Relief valves And Hooked a up bypass valve for the turbo. now when the throttle plate shut it wont drop the air in atmosphere instead is redirects it back to the pre-turbo intake. I used a MKII up pipe from the compressor side because is already has the nipple for a hose. BUT i have to be creative with the hood cause its no going to close. :D its th L shaped thing coming down from the intercooler

looking really good man!

If you come across a cheap front mount intercooler you should get it, most people notice decent gains versus using the top mount one.

i am experimenting with a free side mount VW from a 1.8t. its dimension are slightly bigger but the core almost 2x as thick. that i may front mount or top i donno if it doesn't work a will mos def get long front mount i may have to find a GT bumper to get better airflow to it. haha oh and there is a front mount @ the local wreckers sitting in a 90 or so turbo sprint it might be wrecked though ...

I dont want to up the amps on the 87 ECM which is 10A and the 93 ECM runs on a 15A circuit. so i spliced the 87 ECM power into the back up lighst power thats a 10A circuit hope it works... its all gets power @ the same time anyway. all the wiring is so damn tedious and the starter/alternator circuits are going slow. but after this all i have to do is molest the hood unless i can find a front mount IC and do the exhaust which is going to be 2" turbo back with a cherry bomb glasspack and side piped on passenger side so i can hear it can bounce off stuff and make me happy :D. YAY! more late nights :coffee

THIS is what i like to hear! I wanna do this with mine, i just dont think i will have clearance because i lowered the thing so much. I think i will fab up a side pipe anyways to try it out.

Mine could be moved up so its sitting right below the body, I just need to fab up a better mount for the tip, the setup I had on hand makes it sit very low, but it is flexible.

i just got to do the elbow and then finish all the welds but i am REALLY lazy today.
I also found a front mount intercooler from a 92 supra for $40

i like it for 3 reasons
1- i dont have to up the tubing size to much
2- it font mount an fits perfectly
3- its black so its more of a sleeper look. "i donno about racing that metro man is got a big intercooler "

anyway is all wired except for gounds

Please just call me; "Schultz"

The larger (10mm) line is fuel to the engine.
The smaller (8mm) is return to the tank.

I like that look, I was gonna do that on mine, but ended up making it go out the back instead. Maybe in the future.
