A downpipe isn't street legal (esp. in Cali), but it's one of your first mods. You'll also need a BCC and a boost gauge. Those three mods will set you back about $500-$600 in parts and maybe $300 or so in labor. It'll put you at "bpu" level, which is the best bang-for-your-buck upgrade. After these mods, you can safely increase your boost to 16psi on 93 octane pump gas. "Bpu" can get you an additional 100hp, with just those few mods!

Please clarify - when you say "upgrade as much as possible", what exactly do you mean? In other words, what is your total budget (including labor), and your horsepower goal?

Where's Qatar?

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
