I just want it to handle up to 600 hp or like 500-550 whp

But something cheap because I have to get it Shipped to Iceland And for exampe if something Costs 2000 dollars in America then I have to pay like 4300 dollars when it arrives here becaus of very high taxes and shipping costs

And I?m maybe thinking while I?m doing that maybe I should upgrade to a single turbo becaus I don?t trust the Twins to handle that much boost

I would really be thankful if you would direct me to someone who sells good products but for a fair price
How did the piston get destroyed? Oem pistons can old 24psi and 550hp easy...even 30psi and 800+rwhp is no problem...but not on pump gas. The most expensive pistons you can get (JUN/Cosworth) won't hold 24psi on pump gas either, because at that boost level & octane you're not burning the fuel, you're DETONATING it. If it's only the piston that's destroyed, put a new oem piston in there (Toyota should quote you a fair price), run race fuel, and you're done.

P.S. I hope your cylinder wall isn't damaged too...

Displacement is no replacement for boost.
Life begins at 30psi.


NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
