I'm being 'as serious as a heart attack' when I tell you not to bother putting your Supra together if you don't use the torque specs. In other words, if you don't always use the torque specs, the very best you can hope for is that part(s) on your Supra absolutely will fail, 100% for sure ... and the worst that can happen is that those part(s) will fail while you're driving at a high rate of speed (leaving us with one less forum member). I'm absolutely not exaggerating the risk in the least little bit! (I know other experienced forum members will back me up on this). A 74mm turbo puts your Supra at 900rwhp+ ... of course, it'll never hold together if one were to GUESS at how tight to make each bolt. I hope I have misunderstood you, and that maybe you haven't started putting anything together yet.

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.
