i did the same thing, i put a turbo on my 88 n/a first of all by the time you can have it running right it costs a bunch of money i still dont have mine running right.. you are going to need bigger injectors 550cc, definetly a hks headgasket and arp bolts, 255 walboro fuel pump, a ecu from a turbo supra the stock ecu cant compinsate trust me, and an afm off a turbo supra along with all the wires, honestly if i knew about all this i would have swaped with a turbo engine i'ts alot cheaper

did you try using an MAF translator? the MAF would more acurately read the incoming air and would even adjust the fuel curve on its own. i would think that if you just slapped a turbo and manifold on, you may encounter fuel cut. so, did you use an MAF translator and a larger MAF?

I dont have one for the supra, but the talon build i was involved in used an older model of the MAF trans, (the one that says 'horsepower in a box') and it allowed you to manually tune the car to an extent. worked great, but you really needed to graph the activity of the o2 sensors in different stages of operation. the new one that i'll be investing in will let you tune if you think you know what needs tweeked. Also, it adjusts the fuel trim automatically if it runs too rich or too lean.

200 bucks is a small price to pay for the advantages that will offer, even if you have to shell out another 50 bucks at a yard to get a GM MAF to work with it. Also, upgrading the diameter of the MAF has its own yeilds... the fact that its actually circular makes intake replacement and upgrades SOOOOOOO much easier.....
