Yes but over 50lbs more torque. But the main thing is that a turbo has potential that a na will never even come close to.

Reliability
Yeah OK Turbo is the way to go for fun and speed, but are they just as reliable? I mean the stock ones. Why all the talk about so many failures? Is it because of the mods guys do? If you had a stock Turbo would it drive as many miles reliably and cheaply as an N/A over the life of standard use?

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

the ct-26 turbo is a robust little guy.. small but reliable
130k on my turbo. and just now in need of a rebuild.. still no smoking or shaft play.. just leaks some oil.. as far as the 7mgte engine is concerned.. just as reliable as any other 20 year old motor..

The 7mgte can be very reliable. The main thing is to redo every thing the right way and replace the parts that should be replaced. I think where people go wrong is with the power. The more power you produce the more likely something is to break.
