a $1500 setup is bare bones run no more than 4psi with my setup, aside from injectors, the only onther things i could have done would be porting and internal mods. i got mine running for $1600(again, bare bones, no means of adjustment, juust running rich and a little faster than a stock GT) with 4 weekends of labor, and just added stuff as i went along. but i spent a lot of time parts hunting and that saved me a lot of money at first, after a while i just decided to buy the first stuff i came across. i bought metal IC piping and a FMIC to replace the dsm smic and abs piping i had. and fuel pump and other things that kept adding up. my setup is now 100% bolt on(even comes with a oil pan) with the exception of the fmic setup, it was never used and neither was the piping, so those have to be cut to fit(easy) it was great while it lasted, and i am very tempted to do it again, but my sister want my car, which will give me a chance to get something either RWD or AWD -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

Hey man, honest: You're not going to have a reliable turbo setup for less than $3,000. Main importante things with this engine: FUEL PUMP...get a BIG one before even saying the word turbo besides it. Second, INJECTORS, and third IGNITION TIMING. QUALITY EVERYTHING...these engines are hexed from the factory...even the most stupid little thing will mess it up...even wrong oil.

get a RRFPR and a new fuel pump and you should be good, to a certain point i think zipstrips was at 11psi and still getting enough fuel. anytihng under that, just go for a new pump and RRFPR(and safc will help too) -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

i have been through the turbocharged st stage an all i can say is that a turbocharged car is only as dependeble as you allow it to be. i think that some people dont really see turbocharging as a big to-do anymore. if you really take your time, research a lot, not just on your car, but the aspects of an engine you will find that you will be able to build a dependable turbocharged motor. i say leave the automatic and BOOST IT!!!
