I love me Celica.. but i think its time for my turbos to be upgraded. I am facinated about the GT35 turbo kit but... is it worth the pound? anyone know what kit tufy put in his car? My bf has an STI.. but doesnt deserve it, his shifting is embarrising.. almost broke up with him b/c of it .. but anyway i want a kit that will rival it or pass it

Celicia, you might want to do some research before upgrading your car. A gt35r is a REALLY big turbo. You cant just buy a kit with the biggest turbo and be done with it. You have to upgrade your fuel system, buy a whole new ecu that can be retuned, and in some cases even rebuild the whole motor to handle those kinds of power levels.

You should do the basic mods like exhaust and boost controller first. You'll be surprised at how much power you can get just out of those two simple things. Then later on as you do more research you can decide what turbo is best for your needs and budget.

If you want to be pointed in the right direction... look into a t3/t4 street brawler kit from KOracing, a td06 20g, or a gt2871 from ats racing.

Research is the cornerstone of success in anything you do.. which is a reason why I joined this site and made this post. Im exploring many options.. trying to see what is best, ive been searching for a good upgrade for roughly a year now.. but im not a big fan of aftermarket parts.. I believe the more you mod the less life your car will have.. but at the same time I enjoy driving a fast speeds! gives me a fantastic feeling of joy come spring time ill have a decision.. as for now ill continue to read up and see whats best. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL !!!
