Maybe its a bit overpriced for a used turbo?

So let me see if ive got this right.. its possible to install the turbo without getting new pistons or thicker head gasket and it will be safe for up to 8 psi? about how much more hp would i get doing that?

Im having a hard time to understand everything. the schools in sweden doesnt teach you this type of english just casual english is pretty easy but this terminology is really hard. but im learning

thanx for taking youre time explaining for me. i appreciate it very much.

Ive found a used turbo from a celica ST185 cs. is that something that can be used? the guy wants about 400$ for it.

Thanx for all answers. it helped alot but i think i have som more reading and learning to do before i start this. im a terrible mechanic. thats why i wanted a whole kit, tested and ready to bolt on. but doin it the way scothaniel described seems to be the best an cheapest way.. i just have to save up some money and get all the parts.

about the compression problem... ive read about other turbo kits were they just used a thicker headgasket (is that the right word ) to lower the compression. is that maybe an option in this case?

Is there a turbokit for the 3SGE engine?? i´ve searched alot but havent found anything or is there any other way to get more hp under the hood? now i only have an open air filter and 2,5" exhaust. but i want more.. any tip anyone??
i could probably have someone making turbokit for my car but i think it would be to expensive.

take a look at my profile.. I also have 3SGE and I made a custom one and it worked
fine. but im sure there are better ways to do it.

ok. then it will be 2,5. Cant find 2,75 for as good price as the 2,5 pipes.

Thank you very much!

Hi!
I have a celica gt -94 with the 3S-GE engine and im going to build my own exhaust in stainless steel.
What do you guys think. should I make it 3" or 2 1/2" ?
I want it to be street legal.
