You might as well forge the piston and rods then you can turbo charge, and not have to worry about thorwing a rod.
Fwiw, I can guarantee 100%+++ for sure he's not going to throw a rod by putting on an exhaust and "a chip" and a turbo. To throw a rod, he'd have to put in a large turbo AND some nos...and then run untuned on pump gas. The oem 2jz-ge rods are plenty tough. Also, you won't fully & properly rebuild a 2jz-gte for only $3K, IF you include all of the labor $ to pull, strip, and then reassemble the engine after the rebuild.

On the other hand, lower compression pistons (or a thicker headgasket as a 'poor mans' alternative) is a recommendation for turbo'ing.

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.
