If it's an non-turbo, then it's probably safe to let a Toyota dealer do a general/overall mechanical inspection. If you want to get a tt checked out, I'll help you get in touch with an expert...

What would be a good amount of miles to look for in buying a supra, 96-98? Also what would be the easier mod, buying a turbo single or twin.

Zero? The lower the mileage the better...but of course you'll pay a lot more for a low mileage MK4 Supra.

Do you mean an Mk4 that has already been modified with a single turbo kit?

How do you plan to buy a single? Are you talking about a MKIII? Or you talking about a pre-modified MKIV?
