So heres the situation. Im 18 years old, and my parents came up on a 1995 toyota celica gt. Its got 176k on the body and only 60k on a swapped 5sfe. Ive been reading alot about this car to try and learn the basics and what not, but i cant seem to get this down. I would LOVE to turbo my car considering the engine doesnt have many miles on it, but im not sure how to considering i have the tighest budget that can be. Can anyone help me here, im just a young one wanting to have a fast car like the big boys ha

another place to source parts is MR2oc.com i have found several stock manifolds for about 20-50 bucks, CT-26s go for about 100. its the piping that will be your biggest expense.

Jim's kit is perfect for you, its a complete starter kit.
