Oem spec for the mkiv tt is 17mpg city, 24mpg hwy.

Yes, the oem bov on the 2jz-gte is a bit of a weak point too. It's been known to partially fail (resulting in decreased max boost) after about 50k miles. Other somewhat-unusual items that should be replaced in higher mileage 2jz-gte's are the coilpacks and the harmonic dampener (crank pulley). Other items may also need to be replaced, such as the water pump and/or oil pump, depending on how diligently the previous owner followed the maintenance schedule.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
