Right, as some of you may know....
i think i blew my turbos on the supra....
I put it into the local garage to get them to confirm this!
Them came back to me today with,
We think its an ECU fault.... as the turbo isnt doing anything
BUT
what was cause an ECU to not spin up a turbo and spit oil out the back!
If the shaft/blades were gone, the turbo wouldnt create any boost would it! and if a seal was gone..... the OIL!!
All i wanted them to do was get a look into the turbos and find out for sure! But they didnt even take the heat sheilds off
Looks like im going to just have to slap it over to Greer or MV and get them to sort it out

You may want to consider Jim at Star performance in Glenrothes ?
They specialise in VW/Audi normally but have been doing a fair bit of Jap stuff lately, turbo conversions ETC.
Bonus is that you can get a rolling road run to prove all's well

If it was the ECU at fault then I would expect to see low boost (not no boost) and defo no blue smoke !! If it was dense black smoke it could be the ECU overfueling

Id recommend Marc at The Garage as he has worked on this type of car before, it also had problems with its turbos being shafted!! Give him a ring and he should be able to sort you out.
Tell him Ian sent you
