Fredde · 05-31-2008, 09:28 AM

Hi!

my supra turbo revs slow, sputters when i hit the gas. and is really powerless. its been sitting for 3 years so i?ve changed all vacuumlines and some hoses. The bov is halso replaced scince it was stuck in open.

The idle is close to perfect, and i get 0,45 bar (correct) boost from the turbo.

I am not getting any codes.

Anyone got an idea?

Check your timing.

ok, i will do that, but i cant find out how to do it, i?ve searched the forum without succes, and tsrm says i need a strobe light, cant it be done without a strobe light?

no you have to have a timing light to properly set the timing.

You should invest in one of these.

They are around 50$ at your local parts house.

Maybe you can rent one for a day. But you're going to need one full time at the drop of a dime.

what engine do you have? 7m? 1g? 1jz? check for loose connectors, vacuum hoses, and boost leaks. did you drain the old gas?
