New parts installed - feels like a 300hp beast!!!

[astro73]

I got my car back today from the shop. After some street tuning by the great Allen (UfoZ), man does it pull. The CPU freaked out at first with the new MAF, so I know you definately need the S-AFCII or some other piggyback for this badboy. Sadly, I can't hit the dyno yet, I need to upgrade my clutch before it goes out. Any recommendations? I know I'll probably need a stage 2 though. After talking with Allen and Gabe (trd4life) and based on what others achieved, we believe I should hit or be very close to 300 wheel hp, but we'll see. :P

This is what I got (for those who don't know):
5.5 pulley
URD Lightweight 1MZ Crankshaft Pulley
Supra TT MAF kit
Jim's fuel kit
Supra 330cc injectors
Walbro 190lph fuel pump
S-AFCII (black)
JPP y-pipe (for stock headers) - where's the Megan headers???
custom dual cat-back with 2 Magnaflow #14863 mufflers
Magnecor Wires
Denso Iridium IK22 plugs
TRD Thermostat
TRD Radiator cap
Koyo 2 row radiator

Allen, I hope we can hit the dyno together...because I wanna take care of your first run for all your help!!!

Just moved there from North Hollywood. I moved in to the apartments across the street from the Sher. Oaks burn center on Van Nuys. I work in Toluca Lake, so I don't ever drive down by Encino, usually I'm around in the Burbank/Toluca Lake/NoHo area.

I'd love to, but a custom turbo would've cost way more $$$$$$$. .

are you serious? obviously I don't know much about yota's so you'll have to pardon my ignorance on the subject...I just figured that it'd be cheaper to build a custom setup...rather than buying an expensive blower from trd...

[astro73]

I got my s/c about 2 years ago brand new in box for $1700. MSRP is about $3500. A custom turbo setup is easily around $5000 and that's not including any testing that needs to be done to make sure everything is cool. Besides, these 1MZs can't take much boost on stock internals and I don't want to spend that kind of money to build up the internals.
