Some of the wording here is a bit of a worry.
Your car will not necessarily be slower with steel wheeled turbos. It will simply take longer time (lag) to achieve the same levels of boost compared to the time needed for ceramic wheeled turbos to achieve the same amount of boost. 10PSI is 10PSI, regardless of the wheels you run.

My mate recently put a Gizzmo on his car. He now wants to vote it for President.
Reckons its the best $400odd he's spent.
4 wires and a hose out of the Gizzmo. power, earth, 2 to solenoid. Probably 15-40mins plumbing up solenoid, depending on how hard the twins are to get to.
The Gizzmo takes care of everything automatically. Tell it what boost you want, and how quick you want it to come on, a couple of quick thrashes through the gears, and its done.

well thats what i mean. 0-100 will be slower as it takes more time to come on boost. is that right? i would still have the same power, but slower 0-100....
anyone here use a celicamad hyper boost controller?

yeah, i actually know paul (the inventer) and my brother was the sydney provider for the unit. so i got one off him. he will fit it. so hopefully should get it sorted quikly as he has fitted heaps of these units.
yeah im not talking a huge difference here. just woundering about 0-100 times. i did a 6.4 on a g-tech. was ok. but will be interesting to see what it does with same boost but celica mad waste gate unit fitted.

Sam just make sure that the piping has been re connected properly the steel wheels will come on boost ever so slightly up the rev range from were the ceramics used to come on I would reset your ecu; but make sure all the hoses are correct first also if you have a aftermarket BOV on there make sure it is set right as well if ya still got dramas after doing this you have my number call me and we can check other things.
