Yep...especially a 'bpu' MKIII turbo.

Honestly I wouldn't. One of the reasons it's so hard to get an n/a Mkiv to perform anywhere close to a TT is due the the higher compression ratio pistons in the 2jz-ge.

Keep the MKIII for your daily driver and get the MKIV TT to modify - or mod the MKIII and daily-drive the MKIV. Either way you've got a winning combo! (Can you tell I'm a Supra nut? )

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.
