The oem plenum is what causes a lean condition in #6 for high horsepower applications. Aftermarket plenums solve this issue. That's why they were invented! However I definitely agree that you should stay away from the cheaply-constructed plenums on ebay and go with a name brand like veilside, virtual works, or sound performance. I can't answer the question about you fuel lines because you have not told me how much fuel your engine will be consuming. For example, I could make 1200cc injectors work just fine with the stock twin turbos and the oem fuel lines. If you still have that 67mm turbo, 1200cc injectors are too big unless you're going to run E85. A 67mm turbo's fuel requirements do outstrip the oem fuel pump and lines. You need to get a complete fuel system - don't try to piecemeal one together yourself.

Afgas is crap. Wrong balance of short and long chain hydrocarbons unless you're up at 20,000 feet. Do you have a flow bench? If not, don't try to build your own plenum. Use HKS or JUN cams imho, not crower. Why are you changing the head gasket? No fuel cell but you definitely need more than one pump. Here is a complete fuel system : http://www.spracingonline.com/store/...-98_Supra/3660

need advise
I know racing is expensive but with the rand to dollor i must multiply the amount with 8 so it is very very expensive to get the parts here.The fuel system i want to build is basically the same so that is sorted out. I dont know if the old gasket wil handle the boost.how bad is the stock manifold cant i improve it i do have all the engineering equipment and skills.

2) Pay to play. Sorry, but you can't get away from that. If you want to maximize your investment, don't buy stuff you don't need like an HKS head gasket or an ebay intake plenum. 3) The oem intake plenum is just fine for a 67mm turbo. You only need to change it out for 750rwhp (6spd) applications. If you want to modify it, just block off the EGR valve (us-spec mkiv tt's only).

A lightweight flywheel will improve roadracing performance, but it will not affect holding power. E85 is 15% gasoline. Pure ethanol can be the start of a great party! * P. S. Clutches actually hold torque, not horsepower. If you'd like the upgrade points in ft-lbs instead, please send me a PM.
