The fuel system upgrade. This is the cornerstone of all future turbo upgrades, and the one key item that enabled me to experience high boost levels.

My kit is HKS and my turbo is Sound Performance. Yes, I believe that brand is very important because it's generally an indication of fitment, reliability, AND the amount of r&d that has gone into making sure all parts of the the turbo & turbo kit are perfectly sized.

Not unless you know that exact turbo (including intake a/r, exhaust a/r, etc) & exact size is correct for your application.

No...(only) if you're shooting for 900rwhp or more, you need to consider building your internals. Anything less than that, and the stock internals do just fine, if you're properly tuned and running the right fuel for your boost level. If you're running without sufficient tuning, or not running the right fuel for your boost level, no amount of building or expensive internals will save your engine.

800rwhp or so now...shooting for over 1200rwhp soon (with an 88mm turbo, 1200cc injectors, 3 fuel pumps, 3-stage nitrous, etc. it should do that quite easily)...

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.
