    It's an electric brushless motor driven capable of 4000 watts.

    Honestly idk if it's fuel cut or throttle closing. But from reading Julian article ( AutoSpeed - The Story of Turbo'ing a Hybrid Prius, Part 4 ) it seems like I'm having the throttle closing cause the ECU recognizes some preset parameter set by Toyota..

    I tried doing a boost leak test and the only thing I suspect leaking is the brake booster line. I'm going to try installing a one way check valve on that line.

    If that doesn't work I'll also try disconnecting the MAP sensor.

    SM-N900A ?

    I agree. I couldn't really stand that silver panel, threw off the look

    Got a question. I have 17x7.5 45 offset PF01. I want to add 25mm spacers in the rear. Will that poke out too much or will it be flush with the body?

    Thanks

    It'll be tight I think. I ran 18x9 +35mm for flush in the rears. You can base your wheel offset calcs on that if you're curious. I had to stretch to make it work as well if you're going meaty, you may want to be a few millimeters conservative.

    I thought you were flush already?

    The front is but the rear isn't from what I see. I want to get it as close as I can and lower it a tad bit more.

    I had test fitted my 17x9.5 38 offset rpf1 but they poked out just a little bit but still looked really good. I'm trying to get somewhat the same effect.

    Today I installed an APEXi Grounding Kit. I doubt it will make any difference in MPG or engine smoothness but it was laying around in my garage, free, and the red glowing logo looks cool.

    It might be flush but you might rub. It all depends on your tire setup and fender setup. Stretch tires and shaved fenders might work.
