I'll replace the clutch when needed so it should be about 4k for parts? (excluding clutch). Thanks for the help man.

Yes, that's a good estimate without the rims.

Oem-width rims & rubber won't even hold 425rwhp (and definitely not 650rwhp!). Your rear rims need to be at least 11.5" in width (315 or 305 width z, y, or r rated rubber, and not low-profile). 11.5" is 2" wider than oem rims. It's easy to spend over $2K on just the rims, and some folks spend $6K or more if you also go for a large diameter rim too.

Don't forget to budget for the race fuel (unless you go for the alchohol injection kit). More than about 16psi on 93 octane {(r+m)/2} will gradually damage your engine (it won't grenade instantly, it'll just degrade the compression/leakdown numbers over time). To make 425rwhp, you'll need to hit about 20psi of boost...and to hit that safely, your gas tank should contain about 25% of 100 motor octane (or better) race fuel.

Oh, I forgot to mention the GReddy 3-row intercooler is available with both "oem twins" piping and "single turbo" piping. Ideally, you should buy it with both sets of piping so you don't have to worry about that when you get your single turbo kit.

11.5" width on the rear rims is the main thing (with the correct offset and bolt pattern, of course). The diameter isn't that important ... any thing from 17" diameter through 20" diameter works fine - just be sure you can get the rubber to match. Don't forget - no low profile rubber on the rear - you need some flex to the rear sidewall to ensure traction. Check out tirerack.com ahead of time for available sizes. On the front, a 9.5" wide rim matches the 11.5" rear rim just fine. If you want to install a bigger front brake kit someday (roadracing application), you probably need at least an 18" diameter.

I'm glad to help! Welcome to the Mkiv Supra Turbo 'brotherhood'!

You're welcome!

...forgot to mention you may not want to run an ultra-low-profile tire on the front either. Larger diameter rims bend when confronted with potholes, so an oem-height sidewall on the front may be desireable (depending on the street condition where you plan to drive your Supra). A really low profile tire on the front (of a rwd vehicle) is primarily used for roadracing/autocross, to make handling more precise. You can to decide whether you want precise handling or pothole protection.
