    Dude, read the f$%king thread! He just wants to have a light on his dash that turns on when his TVIS activates.

    Goddamn you, top-page.

    Ok, this is for non-turbo applications, but I have already posted this, but here goes again:

    YOU DO NOT REMOVE/DISABLE TVIS AS AN UPGRADE! I have the dyno sheets to prove it! :mad: We also checked on the dyno how accurate the switch point is. You know what? It was 50rpm off being perfect.

    And as far as a turbo goes, I would leave the TVIS there. The switch point in rpm may change with a modified turbo car, but the only way to know for sure is to check it out on a dyno....

    removing TVIS is a mistake. period. when you can build a 3s with enough power to eliminate TVIS then you don't have to ask.

    like I've told my buddy a couple dozen times. Toyota isn't stupid, they wouldn't put time and effort and money into a system for a car if it hindered performance, except for say P/S and A/C but those are just luxuries you choose to have.

    So yeah.... before I drove my car to the garage to change the water pump, I decided to hook up an LED to a constant 12v source....and spliced the T-VIS wire on the ECU to the ground of the LED.

    I then mounted the LED under my deck temporarily, it will go in the gauge cluster eventually...after I made sure it worked... Drove the car out of the driveway and down the street, I made sure to hit it at least when I was in 1st and boom, light came on at exactly 4000rpm!

    Works like a charm, I'll get a vid of it soon!
