I'm rather new to Supra's myself...but i do know that they are the same motor pretty much, and the swap is no problem, the only difference is the Turbo motor has turbo. The turbo is a 7m-gte and the no turbo is a 7m-ge....same engine, the t stands for turbo. As far as the guages go...i think you have to switch the cluster...but I honestly have no idea on that....anyway have fun

Switching the cluster ONLY to get a TurboBoost gauge? Come on! Just buy the gauge you like the most, and place it wherever you want in the car.

Or remove the least useful gauge (Voltage of battery IMO, lol) and put a cool turbo boost gauge there =P

Ive been cruising the web for a long time before I ever been a member of this site and Ive seen plenty of N/A to turbo swaps and it seems not to be a problem besides that gauge problem you speak about.Like it was said before just go buy yourself a gauge you like and put it somewhere creative and functional.
