The proper order for a bone-stock Mkiv Supra TT is this:
  1. All proper maintenance, according to the TSRM
  2. Boost gauge
  3. GReddy BCC (to prevent fuel cut)
  4. Downpipe
  5. At least two or three gallons of 100 octane (race) fuel in a full tank of 93 octane (R+M/2) (note: not a half-pint of octane booster)
  6. A good set of Z-rated tires
  7. Boost controller (note: you can raise your boost using a 10 cent hose clamp - no need to spend hundreds of $ here)
After that, you can worry about optional/additional modifications like cam gears, a front-mount intercooler, an aftermarket intake & exhaust, etc.

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.
