What did you do to your Supra today?

[NitroYellowMKV]

Got around to finally installing the MST v2 intake and Verus heat shield, stopped by my parents' place where all my tools were stored. Heat shield was pretty straight forward, but the confined space just made me give up on the bottom most screw for the plate. Intake was a nightmare in itself and broke the PCV pipe that multiple users had mentioned (that I had forgot in the moment of things). Immediately stopped what I was doing and leaving the entire intake disassembled while I tried to figure out what I just broke. Not exactly something you'd want to do on a Sunday at 5pm.

Thanks to @NitroYellowMKV and @zrk, they were both able to advise that I didn't just absolutely cripple my car. Apparently, it's something that's commonly broken when swapping out the intake and something that's just straight up deleted on big turbo builds, so that was a relief. Not sure if placebo, but it feels like the new intake has also helped with throttle response as well as being as noisy (if not noisier) than I expected.

Glad you are happy brother, just wait for the AA dp, gonna be awesome!

Lol i walked away from a 997 GT3 tuesday night on the 101 near SFO.. we should've linked up when i was up in the Bay.. i'm on MHD, one of the great tuning softwares for this platform imo.

I'm thinking about going mhd. What numbers are you looking at? I have an aa catted downpipe exhaust and intake.

I'm mobile dyno'd sooo i don't know my true numbers IF they are true... but as far as MHD, it's solid, i'm tuned by Fabian @ Pureboost, legit tune and tuner too, i would recommend to anyone looking to get MHD..

Awesome... Think I'm going to go this route instead of the cloned ecu since I have a post June. I want to get as close to 500 as possible

I actually installed the DP 2 days after I received it, was actually the first thing I had swapped out of the car, same time I did the oil change to get off the 0-20w watery crap.

Did a thing.

Bought a spare A pillar trim modified it to fit two gauge pods then added some AEM gauges. If i do ever want to go back i can as i have my original a pillar cover.

Took about 3 weekends...too busy with work

like what @zrk said. Take your time, do some measurements so you can put the new badges in the correct place.... OOOOOR if you ever take a trip to San Diego out of nowhere, i can meet up with you and install it lol.

if you tackle it yourself, best advice is to mask around the badge to A: protect the paint when you remove the old badge B: mark the original location of the badge from factory. Remove the badge, goo gone the residue, rubbing alcohol, and stick on the new one. THEN remove the masking tape. ??

Does the removal leave the spot where the original badge was scuffed paint wise?

If you're asking if it leaves a "5 o' clock shadow" as i call it; yes. Very feint, but yes.

No, but the new badge goes over it anyway.

Damn, dealer had left a emblem on the rear of the bumper. Wanted to remove it but figured it would leave a mark.

Main reason I asked.

Remove it, then just give it a little polish/wax/polish/wax and it'll be fine.
