less than two weeks left until i go and pick up the other motor! once i get it, im going to tear it down and see what the knock is coming from and at that point, im thinking of going big or go home. wiseco pistons and eagle rods keep screaming my name. also, i'll be in the hunt for a CT-26 turbo here soon. mine is pretty much toast...

A little bit of both. But mostly the fist sized hole in that engine. haha. I would hate to be in that car when that happened! Good luck man.

yeah, i bet it wasnt a pretty sound! thanks!

im having quite the argument going on inside my head and i kind of need some advice. its a simple question to say the least but should i purchase a stock CT-26 or should i go for a T4 with external wastegate etc?

I came accross the same question, You can do 1 of three things bud,

1.) Make sure the stock is legit, and save yourself the headach for now and just slap it on, make some boost just to make sure everything is okay with the other million things that could go wrong before you get rid of your stock oil lines and plug water lines for an upgrade, and while your driving your stock mklll you put togeather i nice drop in turbo set up. manifold, ex. wastegate, dump pipe, oil lines etc.

2.) bite the bullet and get it done, do the nice upgrade deal with the sh*t you gotta do to get it in.

Or 3, Got to ebay search in supra turbo's, a brand called cxr racing makes a huge turbo, a t67 instead of the 26. that bolts to your stock exaust dp and manifold AND oil lines. sh*t even your stock innercooler piping doesnt need to change. the even offer a new downpipe the oen but not cast and NOT 2 1/2 inches, like the factory. you can get both shipped for bout 600.


I did three and got a new garret t77 thats in my map range. the cxr turbo spools and sounds and looks great, bout 30% cooler then stock, and caries the cfm great at 13 psi before boost cut. lol.
