You'd very likely blow the engine if you tried that on pump gas. The n/a engine isn't built to handle 13psi on pump gas, and neither is its ignition system. In other words, there's no way to "proper tune" high compression n/a pistons together 13psi on pump gas and the oem ecu. Even if you ran pure race fuel, the n/a ignition system isn't powerful enough to ignite under boost, so it would break up and not produce good power anyway. I'd suggest that you would be doing yourself a huge favor by starting with a full Mkiv TT if you want to make big horsepower (really!)...

Displacement is no replacement for boost.
Life begins at 30psi.

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.
