Depends a lot on the work that was done (especially the motor overhaul - both the components used and the quality of the machine work). Depends on the width (not the diameter) of the rims. In general, it seems you might have done fine. Note however that the T78 is a mid-size turbo with a terrible lag...because it's a VERY old turbocharger design. You'll eliminate a lot of lag by upgrading the turbo, and you won't loose any power.

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.
