Then you'll want an auto TT (and not a 6spd).

I have to warn you that your budget might not be sufficient for 800rwhp, especially through an auto.

Imho, nowhere. If you want a reliable 800rwhp+ Mkiv Supra TT, don't start with a POS. It'll already be a huge project to properly turn a well-maintained 300rwhp-ish Mkiv TT into an 800rwhp monster. Why make the effort so much more complicated/difficult?

Most salvage Mkiv's I've seen have far more than a little fender bender going on - they're total write-offs, including serious suspension damage and structural/frame damage, fire or flood damage. If you want something reliable at 800rwhp+, don't start with this, imho.

You read wrong - it's 550rwhp or less (not or so) through a 6spd. Through an auto, the figure is less...and 550rwhp is absolute max , with a brand-new fuel pump, brand new injectors, a new fuel filter, etc.

Sorry to break it to you...800rwhp on pump isn't really practicable.

600rwhp through a 6spd, probably yes. 700rwhp+ through an auto, probably not.

Again, nitrous is fine with the proper controls & tuning.
