No. The least expensive route if you want "fast" is to sell your n/a and get a TT. Honestly - this topic has been covered several thousand times - probably at least once for every unfortunate soul that has mistakenly purchased an n/a. Diff, brakes, tranny, shortblock, head, ignition, suspension, etc., etc., etc., all suck in the n/a when compared with what you get bone stock in the TT.

Here's a 100% complete kit to upgrade the n/a engine to a relatively small single turbo...but as you point out the transmission will then become your failure point. You'll just keep dumping good money after bad until you learn the hard way that you should have sold the n/a and got a TT:

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.
