thanks for that norbs...ill have to do a search on supraforums and find out how you go about doing it...im pretty keen to do it to my aristo as ive been told you can get close to 270rwkw out of the stock turbos

TTC doesn't give you any extra power, it just makes the power delivery more linear and predictable. I was running that way for a while and liked it a lot, but I switched back because I got sick of the exhaust noise; a side-effect of TTC is the exhaust is twice as loud.
There's a pretty good write-up on mkiv.co.nz, go looking for it there. You just need a bit of vac hose and 2 minutes, and if you don't like it you can reverse the procedure just as easily.

oh well thanks for the info anyway...ill definitiely be persuing it when my aristo lands and I dont overly mind the extra loudess of the exhaust...does it cause any extra wear to the turbos considering they are now both running at the same time?

I doubt there's be any appreciable difference in wear. If anything it would extend their lifespan slightly as turbo #1 isn't making boost nearly all the time. With TTC you only get boost when you really sink your boot in, not when you're cruising around at a leisurely pace.

For anyone who's interested, I dug up the TTC article I was talking about earlier:
http://mkiv.supras.org.nz/articles/andy.htm
I recommend anyone with a 2JZ-GTE tries this at least once.

woohoo.. with ttc I never make any boost, ever![]()
now, since I know #1 turbo works, and I can hear it spooling even in TTC, what I assume is happening is, for some reason, #2 turbo is not spooling. As a result all the boost from #1 is just going through the #2 compressor wheel backwards.
possibility #1: turbo 2 exhaust wheel is currently lodged in my cat. As this problem first presented on a dyno, and there was no indication of massive turbo failure, I'm thinking (hoping) this isn't it.
Possibility #2: for some reason, #2 turbo is not getting any exhaust gas, and therefore is not spooling.
my current guess is the EGCV is not putting any exhaust through the #2 turbo. Since the TTC had no effect, I'm ruling out the VSV for the EGCV.
How hard should the EGCV be to move? mine requires a LOT of muscle to get it to move. Also, what's its natural position? open?
Yes it takes a fair bit of effort to move it. The natural position is closed.

you could try to manualy open the pre spool vave for the no 2 first , a lot easy than removing egcv .

even if the pre-spool valve was stuck closed, the second turbo should still come in when the exhaust control valve opened... it should just just be laggier due to starting from a dead stop.
Will check it tomorrow anyway, it can't hurt.
Looking more and more like a blown turbo unfortunately.
If your spark plugs have been copping physical damage, there is a possibility a fragment made its way through the #2 turbine and reduced it to expensive ceramic fragments. Let's hope it's nothing that serious though.
