Default this repair seems a success finally!

So, I've driven the car about a tank of gas now, on the highway up to 80 mph.
Hit the turbo boost full at least 5-6+ times.
No coolant leak! Filled the res up correctly and got the stupid birdcage light to go off. That's the first time since I've owned this car.

Also, thanks for the tip, added brake fluid to the master cyl and got that brake idiot light to go off as well.

Now... at some point gotta fix the Power Steering leak. Pretty good leak.
and it failed inspection on it's two lower front ball joints. yuck.

And it has some pretty major low end power problems. It is gutless under 2500 rpm and I mean like a garbage truck fully loaded fast sometimes. Sometimes it peppier, but not normally. It also runs like absolute shit in the 1 to 25 degree F range, and I have to start it and let it run at least 10 minutes and the temp gauge up to normal (about 35% up on this car) and then it will drive. Starting cold, I can pretty much hit the gas in gear (AT) and it will almost not even drive at all. Just sits and ignores the gas pedal (until warm).

Thanks to the Supra Forum it's at least running again!!!
