Not if it's been well-maintained.

It's pretty small. It'll probably only do about 550rwhp max, even on race fuel and high boost. This figure will be even lower if it's an auto (vs. 6spd).

- PHR downpipe
- Greddy intercooler
- HKS Super Suquential Blow off Valve
- GReddy boost gauge.
How does that setup sound? Strong?...

Depends what you mean by strong. Again, if it's a 6spd, you're looking at about 550rwhp max on race fuel and high boost. Even if the turbo could do more than that, the oem fuel system (even with fpdb) can't safely exceed that figure.

If the installs were all done properly, then yes.

It's an okay combination, but it really blows my mind why people use this combo. The oem rims are 8" front and 9.5" rear - the rims on that Supra increased the front rim width (from oem size) by 1", but only increased the back rim's width (from oem size) by 1/2". This is total insanity when you consider that the REAR WHEEL DRIVE car's horsepower has been increased by about 66%!!! Again, that rim combo is okay, but really not optimal.

If you really want my honest opinion, you should be worrying about how well the car was maintained and how well it performs, and not how it sounds. Just mho...
Good luck with the purchase, thanks for posting, and please keep us informed!
