Greddy Boost Controller the boost is 1,79 bar at peak or about 26 psi
HKS 3" Turboback exhaust with 5" end
Frountmounted Intercooler
HKS Cone airfilter
Blitz Dual TurboTimer
The computer has been modified to pump more gas into the engine

Here are some pictures
Your Supra is beautiful. Congratulations, and welcome to the Supra community!

As you may now, the best way to get an accurate horsepower figure is to put your Supra on the dyno. Since the car is running that much boost (on race gas I hope), I'd agree that 500hp (= 425rwhp through a 6spd) is possible.

Can you tell us more about how "The computer has been modified to pump more gas into the engine"?

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.
