Hey all, I'm new to the Supra scene so please forgive any stupidity. I'm going to check out a 87 supra turbo tomorrow and I was wondering what I should be looking for, as far as common problems. I know blown head gaskets are a major problem with this car, so how would I know if the head gasket was good or not? Also, I was wondering if these cars have stock boost gauges in them. If so, how accurate are these gauges? The turbo should produde 5-7.5 pounds of pressure, correct? Besides checking for shaft play in the compressor wheel of the turbo, how can I reassure this turbo is healthy? What is the easiest way to check for turbo health? Are there any other common problems I should be looking for? Please help me choose the right supra!!
Regards,
Tanner
