been looking at the SC300 lexus for a while and stumbled onto this fourm and well this post that just disgusted me... i am a MR2 turbo owner, and in general you guys have no respect for those of us with shallower pockets
about the boost staying on longer.... the stock ct-26 CAN NOT hold "full boost" (16-18psi for that turbo) past 5500 rpm, it just doesnt flow enough air. his turbo is clipped or upgraded, like mine which can hold 22psi+ to redline which is pleanty to blow my head gasket
about the FCD (fuel cut defender/defencer) it is the easiest thing to bypass and the 1st modification done to almost any mr2 turbo, basically you trick the guage to read 6-8psi but the computer still reads the correct boost level so all is good fuel wise etc etc. the FCD is off the stock guage so it (the fuel cut) isnt tripped
i havent gotten all over one of these lexus' yet but i would imagine any slightly tuned mr2 turbo (basically any turbo with pushing consistant 18psi to redline) with a decent driver would be able to win in a race against an sc300 easy and be able to win most of the time against the sc400 (just from #'s)
PS: Sorry for spelling errors
