    So my turbo and all spools up fine, and she pulls but around 3.5k rpms i feel like i get "pushed back" and shes not really pulling anymore. Im thinking tvis is f***ing up some how. I'll post a vid of my car when i get ahold of a camera.

    nah, but i think its messed up. I'll check her codes again cuz she turns on randomly but then she isn't on when i shut the car off and turn her back on.

    how do i check tvis?

    timings perfect. I dont hear any knocks

    engine light will just turn on, then if i turn the car off and back on, no light

    last time in check for codes i got 54 and 42

    you won't hear the knocking believe me.
    i would assume tvis is not working. do a 3rd gear pull on the highway and at about 4200 rpm the exhaust note should change.

    from high to low pitch?

    mind you, i have an open DP so its very loud.


    i just tried to check her for a code, i got nothing after tying for 10 min.

    right at 4500rpms is when i tend to feel like im not pulling anymore, so im assuming its TVIS. Now i was looking at toyorunners question post and i noticed something... i dont think its hook up properly to wut you where saying mafix.

    I need to know exactly where those two bubbles next to the big one hooks up to. If you just say TVIS, im not gonna know, i would like a picture.
