The car is littered with stickers. Among then...GReddy. I would suspect that the car is running a GReddy-type turbo..kit. I don't believe GReddy would sponser a turbo-car with a kit, without including a BOV to keep their big investment safe.
That said, I stand by my comment. GReddy TypeS/TypeR BOV. Guessing TypeR, as they are 99% definitely running over 1 bar.

I hope this all makes sense and the chart helps a bit
Most competition cars do not use any sort of BOV for the performance benefits, as stated many times.

We have achieved over 1300 RWHP in supra's over in the states which leaves no doubt in my mind the Japs have gotten to over 1600+ hp in any of Jap's top contenders. I'm pretty sure those wanguners have gotten some rediclious power!

When you don't know something and are searching for info, and someone offers you that info, it isn't polite to doubt them, especially when they're very verse in that field of info

Ramy, would you happen to know anyplace I could look at a catalog of their stuff? I assume they're still open for business, just overhauling their website. I've seen their stuff in magazines and really want to see what else they've got.

I have a large stillway intercooler sitting in the garage
I picked it up second hand for about $300
Gotta relocate the battery to get it in though! and havent got round to it yet...keep your eye out for the install pics though. The IC is huge compared to standard, probably 4 inches thick, over twice as wide, and higher. Cant wait
Oh, and i must say it is a top quaity piece of kit. I had it in my room for a while and it really does just look so good. The welds, everything about it is beautiful!

the stillway site has never been anything more than a map (and a hopeless one at that) - and has finally totally died. Don't hold your breath waiting for a new one...
anyway, they are big FD sellers on yahoo auctions. Here's a link to their current auctions: http://openuser.auctions.yahoo.co.jp...er/stillway_h?
I'm happy to source anything, as is Ramy, no doubt.
BTW, my FD is stillway tuned - and I'm happy to say they are very good at what they do.
Pity I didn't take my camera - most of you would wet your pants - the cars in and around their workshop are staggering.

What is it w/ these shops in Japan being completely walk-in only? I don't get it...

I just found some pics of stillways new track car...OMFG! im loving the new silver paint! I couldent download the pics, so here is a link. This site is not in English, but if I can figure it out, you can. The new stillway track car is the silver one with the RE Amemiya kit and the giant Red Stillway winshield sticker. There are a ton of other FD pics here as well, enjoy!
