It would be better to sell the n/a and get a TT. Brakes, suspension, ignition, etc., etc. bites on the n/a. If you want a turbo mkiv with 500hp, then get a TT to begin with. An n/a with a turbo is not an equivalent GT sportscar to a TT.

If you must stay with the n/a, it's probably easier (not necessarily cheaper) to swap the engine with a 2jz-gte. That said, a 2jz-gte makes 320hp (400hp bpu'd) - not 500hp.

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.
