If the engine in the Mkiv Supra Turbo you purchase is in good shape (verified via compression and leakdown tests), then drive the heck out of it until you can afford a single turbo kit and a methanol injection kit. Install those two, and drive the heck out of it some more. That's your most cost-effective path to horsepower and fun.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
