If it totally breaks you’ll lose all boost and turbo will stop whistling, that’s what happened to me. But my flap was totally missing and presumably shot out the exhaust lol
My tuner confirmed for me that the Remnant turbo in my car requires a slightly higher oil pressure so I’ve been running with that. No real issues. Still can’t read oil level through the iDrive so I just read it through ecutek.
You're definitely correct about the shops. I experienced the same when I brought mine to a specialty BMW performance shop for assistance troubleshooting my white smoke issue, and they blamed manufacturing defects for it not lining up correctly. At least they found the source of the issue, the...
Hello all. I'm looking to sell my steering wheel so that I can switch up styles. Wheel is in great condion with minimal signs of wear. Airbag is not included. I will remove the wheel from the car at time of sale. I'm not sure how it was installed by the shop, so it is possible there might be a...
2 of the mounting holes are warped so likely will be a costly repair + repaint. Wanted to see if it would be easier to swap hatches but it doesn't seem like that will be any easier unfortunately.
Has anyone successfully completed a hatch swap? I'm starting to grow tired of the APR carbon wing on my Supra; it was never my first choice but the car came with it. Due to Toyota's interesting design choice of the decklid being plastic and one piece with the rest of the hatch assembly, plus the...
Do you have any knowledge on how dangerous it is to have an extra 12-15psi at peak? It doesn't ever reach the threshhold to throw a code. Trying to gauge how critical it might be to get it replaced sooner than later.
I have been having this issue on my modified 2020 Launch Edition Supra for awhile. Currently has 27k miles, and is tuned on ecutek. My oil level measurement never passes 15-25% regardless of the oil temperature, and I looked back to an old log while I was getting tuned; the peak oil pressure...

Did you ever figure anything out for this? I am having the issue on my 2020 where I can't read oil level and I just noticed my peak oil pressure at WOT is around 94-95psi and I read that it should be around 80psi.
I had another issue with white smoke starting to bellow out of the exhaust. Turns out turbo oil drain line was kinked and causing oil to pressurize within the turbo. It can be difficult to clock everything properly so make sure that the oil drain is threaded first while someone holds the turbo...
Update for my issue with this symptom, oil drain line from my Remnant turbo is kinked and not allowing proper drainage. Will have to clock turbo to make everything fit nicely, start car to see if it's still smoking or not. If so I will have to swap CHRA, if not I will have to take turbo out and...
Did you ever figure this out? I am having the exact issue.. Lots of white smoke when car is hot while coming to a stop or idling shortly after or if i rev. Smells faintly of oil. Am catless, no catch can. new issue shortly after installing a new second Remnant turbo. I also can’t check oil...
