7a-fe turbos? Options

[TRDCelicaST]

I got kinda bored at school today and started looking for 7a-fe turbo kits, the only ones I can see are the corollas. There should be no diff. between our engine and theirs right? So technically a corolla turbo would work on a celica st? Also, what do you guys think of turboing a car with almost 100k miles on it? I don't want anything insane, maybe 6-8 psi, just something to give the car the kick in the ass that it needs.

john,

the piston didnt melt till a few weeks after i changed the fuel pump. althought i am very sure it was severely weakened buy the failure of the pump.

the pump didnt completly quit, but it would cut in and out when under load

that pressure was only a guess, going by the ratio of the fmu and the psi that was made at the time

most likely the pressure rose to a point where it overloaded the pump, made it shut down, then detonation.

what it felt like was the car accelerated hard and fast, then felt like i had let off the gas, then came back on, and repeated the process in a matter of a few seconds. i pulleded over as soon as i realized what was happening and bypassed my MBC which made the car run at 4psi, but the damage was done

the compression test was 209, 0, 180, 207 before toyota pulled the engine and put in a new shortblock under warranty

i got to look at all the internals and everything was in good shape, even the rings on the #2 piston(the one with 0 compression) were intact.

i think that 8psi is a good level to keep things at with the setup i had, as with other similar setups.

honestly, i never wanted any more than that, it was fast enough for me.
