So I've been playing with the idea of going turbo with my 5sfe, or swapping for a 3sgte. I found a totaled all-trac which would have been perfect for either one, but after many failed attempts at trying to contact the man selling it I decided to give up on that I found a supra turbo, I was just looking for some opinions on whether or not I should get a supra turbo or just turbo my celi.

as long as you take care of the headgasket issue and torque everything down to spec on the 7M, it'll be pretty reliable with minor mods.

actually its the spec thats the problem. torque it more than spec and the head gasket holds. read up of supraforums.com

i have a MKIV 97 TT and i love it. changed over to a single turbo and gained 100 HP at the same boost level. im now making 500 on pump and 600 on race gas.

That's what I somewhat said. lol I should've mentioned non-stock specs. Stock, IIRC, was like 55lb/ft according to someone on SM. I think ideal is like 85lb/ft for the headbolts/studs according to the little paper that's included with ARP's headbolts/studs.

I went with a 1JZ swap on mine and ended up using ARP hardware anyways for the piece of mind since I had the head cleaned and the valve stem seals replaced.
