roys88supra is on a distinguished road

just so you guys know my 88 is N/A (naturally aspirated) in order to get 20lbs of boost with a turbo kit it will cost me about $6000.00 I can get a supercharger that tops about 19 lbs of boost for $4500.00 and it's less work in the long run. I bought a second Supra a few weeks ago for $300.00 and I'm in the begining stages of building the engine for either a turbo or supercharger. I'm still leaning towards the "charger" because plumbing the oil lines is simpler and I don't need to run coolant to most of them. besides then I can build a custom header with 1 7/8" outputs. F.Y.I. i have a full fabrication shop at my disposal and 10 years of "fab" experience with 4X4's. I've got the fuel system mapped out, and I believe i have the ecm issues worked out. I'm going to "hopefully" have the head off the donor motor in the next two weeks and have the machine shop max it out for flow. Unfortunately my divorce is going to be finalized next thursday and I get to see how broke I am from there. It may put a hamper on my "fun" for a while. time will tell
