Default Question about buying a MkIV Supra

I am looking into buying a supra and later on upgrading it to roughly 850-900 HP and was wondering if I could upgrade a NA Model to do that much or if I would need to buy the Single or twin Turbo models.

Any help is greatly appreciated thanks.

1) If it's an n/a, then it has no turbo (neither single nor twin).
2) Achieving this horsepower is possible with anything (even an n/a) - it's all a matter of $$$

However, just because it's theoretically possible to get 900hp out of an n/a...with enough $$$$$ invested...doesn't mean that's anywhere near the most cost-effective way to get 900hp. In other words, if what you really want is a 900hp Mkiv Turbo, start with a TT, not an n/a.
