Yeah it's pretty terrible between 45-60mph which would be optimal windows down speed. I like to listen to the exhaust and turbo sounds so I ride with the windows down a lot of the time. I have gotten a little more used to it but it's pretty ridiculous that it's as loud as it is.
Speaking of catless downpipe... Here is an audio clip from some tunnel runs this last weekend at Tail of the Dragon. I actually had someone hear me coming and paid me $60 to ride in it. I told him he really didn't have to pay me anything and I would be happy to let him ride in it and when he got...
No reason to get butt hurt here but unfortunately you are wrong. S55's do not have the intercooler manufactured inside the intake manifold, they are a 2-piece design and only have the 2 ports coming out of the W2A leading to the lower half which is your intake manifold. The S55 acts as an...
I see this going a couple of ways. I work in this industry so my opinion is based on working with OEM's and providing large scale private label thermal management solutions. The first 2 options will be for people wanting to achieve power levels beyond the OEM W2A intercooler's efficiency range...
Actually on the A90 Supra it is complex. This water-to-air system has an intercooler manufactured inside the intake manifold and uses a water-to-air heat exchanger up front. The intercooler "brick" is not removable and the intake manifold was formed around it and sealed. This intercooler will...
At that point it had just an intake and Map 3 on JB4. He says he's going to turn his boost up for a rematch but now I'm full catless downpipe and will be using MHD Tuning for a reflash. Should be in the 11's no problem next time.
I also have the disease pretty bad. I am really impressed with the Supra so far and how it has responded to mods. I daily drove all these cars never had a garage queen.

My buddy has a FD RX7 with a single turbo upgrade and was talking a lot of smack about a Supra vs RX7 showdown when I got mine. He even put $50 on the race to prove his point. Needless to say my wife and I had dinner on him that night. Haha
It ended up running a 12.4 with IAT's around 145f and...
It would be interesting to see if the car was seeing some type of input from the DBW (drive by wire) system. If you could get it hooked up to a datalogger you could see if those sensors were displaying anything. Basically see if it was a sensor malfunction and commanding the throttle to open...
