Ok then, it's an MKIV Supra, either TT or N/A (normally aspirated / non-turbo).

Insurance for an MKIV Supra probably won't be any cheaper...especially if you get a TT.

You can get a single kit for
about $4 grand that will perform just as well as that
parallel twin turbo kit (also note that twin turbo kit you read about was probably
an HKS).

Ok. The nos kit will be at least $1k (with all of the supporting electronic controls), and you'll have to spend a good bit of time on the dyno testing & tuning it to be sure it's safe & consistent (probably at least another $1k or more in install+testing+tuning+dynotime). Also if you pick an mkiv with an auto tranny, the nos may cause the oem tranny to 'go' earlier than you'd expect unless you get it 'built' (a built auto tranny would be another $3k).

Like I said, a tt in good shape will run you about $20k...which won't leave you much $$$ left over for upgrades.

You just asked a very complicated question. First of all, you'll only save about $5k (or less) by starting with an n/a mkiv instead of a tt. Next, note that a full tt engine swap (complete 2jz-gte + harness + ecu) will cost you $3k or more in parts and probably about $1k or more in labor. After all that, you still won't have a full tt, because of the tranny, the diff, the brakes, the suspension, etc., etc. In other words, sure you can upgrade to tt, but to get to a full tt it'll cost as much or more than if you'd have simply got a tt in the first place.

I honestly believe that $23K isn't enough to build a Supra that will leave them "drewling". It is enough to put together a 400rwhp+ 'bpu' Mkiv tt though, which will be plenty fast. All the mods you need are listed at the link I already provided
in my post above. Here is the link again:
http://www.mkiv.com/faq/faqtt.html#bpu1
...I can't promise you'll have enough $ left over for the full nos kit+install+testing&tuning, since your $23k honestly is barely enough to cover the cost of a good mkiv tt plus 'bpu' mods (plus maybe a set of rims & bfg drag radials if you get very lucky finding a great deal on an Mkiv Supra TT).
