Yep the turbos are ceramic, which makes them slightly less durable, iirc.

Are you trying to convert RHD to LHD? If not, most 'bpu' parts for a LHD US-spec Mkiv Supra TT will fit a Japanese-spec Mkiv Supra TT.

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.
