Turbo help? im new
i have my stock 1987 turbo on my supra.
i was wondering if i should buy a new one because this one has 160k miles on it. if so i found a guy selling a greddy td06 turbo ("internally gated with low miles") and was wondering if i it was a good turbo. |

It's not a direct bolt-up, so you'll need a new manifold/downpipe. Personally, I think the CT26 is a better match for the 7M vs a TD06, so I would stick with what you have. When you start having problems, send it out to get rebuilt/upgraded

And depending on where you're at in Cali, driftmotion is only in Montclair, so you might be able to just drive there and save on shipping
