WELL I BOUGHT IT !
15 pound of boost is HELLA good

Shannons actually insured it too !! surprise surprise - just over $1400 a year full coverage - AND they upgraded me to rating one about 12 months earlier too
So not all insurance companies are arses!

Congrats Classique71,
Welcome to a new world of Toyota driving. Youll be very pleased with the car once you've done some more mods. I dont recommend 15PSI on the stock ECU though.

the previous owner said somewhere between 12 - 15 - i REALLY need an accurate boost guage ..
Reccomendations on something cheap and effective would be cool fellas as the stock no number thing that imitates the boost guage ( looks like a bloody fuel guage to me ) is crap ..
Id really like to know what accurate figures of boostits producing ..
The boost controller works well though - ive had that wound down today to puddle about in town - and you can feel less boost there - compared wto when the things wound up ( obviously )
re the fuel volts thing - im actually considering putting the stock fuse thing back in to make it run at 12 again - for insurance sakes .. the jumpered points look a bit offy , if any authorities were to inspect it

yes the stock gauge is worthless!!
buy something decent and accurate because you don't want to be overboosting
i have an autometer gauge which was pretty easyish to install and very accurate at a reasonable price

Autometwer guage - noted - pray tell how much did that puppy set you back ?
Im pretty happy with the power the GT4 makes - its definantly fast enough for my liking ( as i found out last night ) - Im mainly concentrating on modifications i can do with the stock bottom end without murdering the budget anymore 
I still plan in the future ( read 12 - 18 months ) to have a ta or an RA 23/28 as the " fun car " They are just so different to drive than the GT4
One eats up corners - with no effort - and boosts out of them like the things on rails - the other is a physical shallenge to drive and more " rewarding " when you can get such an Old school low tech package to dial in and have fun in !
but for now - i have 1 garage space - but that will change in time

juustin - read above quote -
in about 2 yrs ill be looking for an EFI ta22 or ra23/28
webers are mega fun - but ive found boost - and boost is good..
its sorta like cheap wine - the way the turbo works is basically free power - that just has to be tapped - that makes your car SOO much quicker ..
cheap wines easy to obtain , costs bugger all , and gets you pissed quickly

i payed 11k for it. its in great shape bidywise - no dings or rust , has a few minor chips in the front bumper but no physical damage , a clean grey velour interior , new exhaust system thru-out ( AVO 3 inch performance system ), boost controller - hks turbo timer , CD stacker/amp/dodgy front/rear speakers ( anyone want this cd stacker + deck for cheapish ?) 4 good tyres = service + so on
pics will come asap - probably tomorrow as i have the day off to give it a wash ( country roads = dirty car )
