your on a FWD platform. u see what Presure2 and Defgeph put down (235 to 250whp) and they run into traction issues. (which have yet to be resolved) The only answer anyone has been able to find for it, is to throw money at it, till u get it right. (fat rubber, bigger and better and ultimatly more expensive suspension components) And unless your racing....regularly....the originality factor is better then the added 30 to 50hp.

again, its my opinion, and last I check, on these boards, I am entitled to it.

sooner you learn that the sooner you become a real tuner

^And as far as this comment goes, come talk to me when your car IS a car, and not 10k pieces strune about your garage.

mig... ask any one of us with a turbo celica. we would take lack of traction over an NA beams motor any day. its the type of thing that is only a problem when you go to the track and are trying to run a 1/2 second faster then your last time. in the real world, on the street, its not a problem at all. the traction issues at the track can also be solved by simply lowering boost in lower gears, and a bit of driver skill.

i look at the beams like i look at the silvertop swap. on the internet, you will have a cool car, but in the real world, you'll get owned by just about anything on the road with those motors under your hood.

the 5sfTe and 3sgte might be very common on these forums, but in the land of subaru, mitsu, and hondas that roam the streets, a turbo celica is a very rare and cool thing.
