well, from what I've read, with intake, exhaust, and a few other upgrades, there's not much power to be added overall... might be able to get 80 extra ponies, but doubt you'll be able to achieve that 400+ HP that supra's have earned their names from. That's typically done thru larger turbos and other upgrades. I've got a cold air intake system on my 7mge and love the sound I get from it. Want to do exhaust system, but from what I've read, the real beneficial ones only mount up to the turbo elbow, thus requiring you to have a turbo. Seems the best naturally aspired mk3's can do for exhaust is Cat-back. Having said that, anyone please feel free to correct me, I'm here to learn too). On my 7mge, I'm more concerned with cooling... keeping the coolant, oil and other liquids cool.. I expect that to give me better than I have now... and short of cat back, it's all I can see doing to my mk3 as I enjoy having the back seat a lil too much to concern myself with weight mods.
