Well Don that looks like a whole lot of work you've put in there, looks pretty complicated with all that changed stuff.
If it was easy I guess everybody would do it right huh?

I did notice that your running a TVIS system still? If so is the system active soas the intake runs on the short runners during idle? like it's supposed to.

IDLE
1. If your not getting enough air at idle then the turbo is in the way? It appears obvious to this S/C guy that your not pushing enough air thru the system with the slow turbine spin? If so bypass the turbo during idle, I know my S/C unit is not spinning during an idle.

LOW REVS
2. Not being able to spin fast enuff huh? Maybe not enuff exhaust flow thru too big of a exhaust pipe going into the unit? Logic seems to dictate if you decrease the tubing size diameter entering the turbo the velocity of the gasses will be increased accordingly resulting in faster turbo spin. Your photos are inadequate to make this judgement as they do not include any feed piping pictures.

BTW you identified the engine as a 4a-gze right? The thread is entitled 4agte, just what is in the pictures? gze block and gte induction? If so are the TB and AFM matched with the injectors in any way?

QUOTE=donnyavery;444383]i converted my 4agze to a remote mount turbo but it does not seem to be able to get enough air though the turbo at idle and wont rev over 3700rpms with turbo in line i got some pics[/QUOTE]
