The US-spec model has larger injectors, a longer-duration intake cam, and larger turbos.

No, you will not have to change the internals. Do you mean 500hp at the crank or at the wheels (I've seen conflicting definitions online for "bhp"...and according to SAE, "bhp" is an obsolete term). For 500 at the crank, all you'll need is 'bpu++++' modifications. For 500 at the wheels, you'll need a small single turbo. You'll also need to run some race fuel or water/meth injection.

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.
