That's the only one that I could find that I actually liked.
Here's hoping?

300WHP can be done with ease, but probably not as easy as you like. It's a commonly repeated recipe but you have to do things right or you might lose the engine.
If you plan to hit 18psi you might as well do a metal gasket now.
Follow this order:
fresh fluids, fix ALL leaks, check/replace all hoses (oil cooler too), check/replace head gasket, check/replace spark plugs & wires, check/replace timing belt, check/replace clutch, check/repair any codes. Then....
3" dp, 3" cat, 3" catback, air filter,
fuel pump, 1UZ KVAFM+ 550's+AFPR,
boost controller+ wideband gauge+ SAFC or something to trim with, intercooler and hard pipe kit,
57Trim Ct-26
stir, tune and serve. Serves 6 cylinders.
Should get you to the target. Although at 18psi you might be a bit higher.

That is asking alot from a stock ct26 don't you think?
Lexus 1UZ injectors are smaller almost 100cc's (remember no turbo). The boosted 1UZ guys are always looking for stock 7MGTE injectors if you want to sell your stockers. I would either get your stock injectors cleaned and re sized or suck it up and get the RC's.

As for choosing a turbo, I'd go with reading Garret TurboTech 101:
http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbob...o_tech101.html
and Garret TurboTech 102:
http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbob...o_tech102.html
and then looking through their product line:

comparison sheet:

You really don't have to read the turbotech stuff, but it'll help you understand the dimensions of the turbos and the efficiency islands that they show.

If you still have questions about choosing one, I'll do my best to help tomorrow.

I would do this for you, but I feel like absolute s***.

How much boost can you get out of a stock ct26? And a 57 trim ct26?
Also I noticed on ebay there's a compressor upgrade. Any experience with these? Thanks for all the help!!!

I wouldn't go past 12psi with the stock turbo, but that's just me. I've no idea what type of boost is actually safe to run with it. Myself, I'd try to find a turbo with about a .85 A/R for lots of high-end, that you don't have to completely mash the throttle to get. That way it's still fun on the road, but you get good power and response on the track. I really know nothing about the 57 trim ct26, I just thought I'd throw in my thoughts.

Not to completely change the subject, but how's the customer service on that site? I found quite a bit of stuff that I'm interested in buying

When Jeff Montigny owned / ran SupraSport, the service was second to none.
The current staff does not offer the same quality service as Jeff did. However I have not had any major issues and when problems came up, they were resolved.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I give them a 7.
