What sort of power difference can one actually feel with a single T78 Vs a BPU supra? How does it feel ? Does the power build fast with high torque? Can you feel the g-force pushing u back into your seat real hard? Just curious? At what RPM does it really take off?
Appreciate your response!

didnt you post the same thing somewhere else? t78 hits hard and when it comes on it is a quick rush of power. totally different from bpu

Yeah I did but did not get a good enough response so I reposted. Anyway thanks for your reply. It must be truly amazing!! As I feel the BPU has quite a bite!! I hope to get a single soon

Randy you're in Bangalore ??? lol

I wouldn't be surprised since there was a Supra owner in Sri Lanka on the MKIV list.

And yeah, from my experience of owning a BPU Supra and riding in a T78 Supra, it's a big difference of power. Going BPU from stock is about 100RWHP change but going from BPU to T78 is atleast 200RWHP change.

The only screw up for me is that I have to order every part from Japan and pay a lot more for freight and local custom duty. I also trust only one guy who is pretty good as he takes care of a friends F-355, Aston Martin, Porsche, Skyline GTR and soon a Viper. Also there is so much traffic I can only use my car late at night and the weekends.

Is it possible to run T78 with stock fuel line and stock IC on low boost like 18 psi? Is there a sense?

If not, please explain why.

Also, is it possible to put two stock IC instead of FMIC - I have active front spoiler and FMIC doesn't fit.

oh common Pete.. U should know better.. it's a really bad idea to run T78 on stock fuel (if you want a T78 you should not only have aftermarket fuel lines, but injectors, rail and stuff.. ), so when buying a big turbo multiply it's cost by two (well at least you've got the S-AFC..). As they say in MVP or any other place it's damn hard to run a T78 on low boost. I belive that you would have a lot of boost spikes especialy with your MBC thus a dead engine in no time.. I doubt that you would like to rebuild your engine once more in such a short time.

Pete,
It is possible to run the T-78 wiht stock fuel. I'm running this setup with some fuel mods(will be doing a write up soon wiht pics). I have my Wastegate set to 14.2 PSI and I have never seen a spike, or the boost go over that set point. A couple people have ridden in my car who also own singles and verified under a couple highway blitz's that the boost NEVER goes about that 14.2 PSI amount. My stock twins spiked more in a week than this turbo set up in a month of redline 5th gear pulls. A couple others are running a T-78 and a TO4-R kits wiht 1.2 Bar and the cars are pretty happy(EGTS and A/F wideband tested). You do have to have self control though! No running up the boost with a boost controller because you think your ok.(that why mines in the engine compartment ) Do the proper tuning and take you time.

-TY
Happy T-78 supra owner
