Depends if it's an auto or 6spd. Either way, you'll need to start with a 'full bpu' Mkiv Supra Turbo. You'll need to purchase, properly install, and tune the following: a complete fuel system upgrade, a complete single turbo kit, a fuel computer, a good aftermarket clutch (or built auto tranny), an FMIC, and some wide (11.5") rims (so you don't just sit there and spin with that 600rwhp, or fishtail off the road when boost kicks in).

If you do it properly, probably about $15K...

JUN and HKS, imho.

Like dcrusupra said, you'll need to start with a well-maintained Mkiv Supra Turbo, in very good running order. You should also do compression & leakdown tests on it to ensure the engine is 'healthy' enough to single-turbo.

Of course, be sure to budget enough $ to keep your car properly maintained - a full synthetic oil change costs $50+ and a set of tires can be $1K or more (the z-rated rubber can last as little as 10,000 miles). I'm not sure how long you've had your '97TT, but properly maintaining an Mkiv TT costs like a Ferrari (and not a Celica)...

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.
