really?? really...

no car nearly 25 years old is going to be reliable...
if you want that, i suggest you sell me your supra and go buy a honda accord.

and really now, think back to the day in 1987 you could buy a brand new "Supra" or you could go with the Turbocharged version with more hp and torque. WHO THE HELL would not go for the turbo version!!!!!
plus a stock ct26 isnt capable of pushing vary much psi. if your not mechanical savy, install an intercooler and radiator, these things extend your engine and turbo life.

yes there is a hg problem.
yes it can be fixed.

i only purchased a non turbo because it just had a hg done and my friend gave me a deal. still fast as hell, but the turbo knocks its pants off
