Re: 3s-fe a few questions...

my main mr2 was originally a 3s-fe its a rev 2 100%, it also carries the chassis code sw23 now its a trd bodied 3.0 v6 with trd supercharger and i dont honestly think it would have been so modified if it wasnt for the 3s-fe being there in the first place the day after i bought it... http://img.photo...

Re: boost control

the mbc was in line so i just connected the two together and presto, back to normal!, your right no bearing but the rear had a bleed hole that i could see straight into it so it must have been leaking pressure

anyhoo, all is normal now!!

Re: boost control

Took the mbc out and took it apart to clean it, when unscrewed there was no ball bearing just the thumb screw,spring and body!, at the end of the thumb screw the end was tapered, not sure if that makes a difference?

Re: Well the TRD rep is home.....

if i we're nearer, i'd have that kit of in a useable state no probs in a day! the kit def has a lot of potential in it! that kit you saw on e bay, was it roughly 1200/1300? i saw it advertised but as you've found out, buying the kit is one thing, it's the cost of fitting and painting thats the killer!

Re: Well the TRD rep is home.....

looking at the pics, there really is nothing to get seriously worried about, most of the issue with the rear bumper not fitting and lining up right is down to the fact the old original rear quarter lower lip is still there. my advice, surprised it hasnt been said already, rub it down, when you get t...
