Ok cool. I know a good mechanic in Arizona that I'd recommend when you get ready to go ahead with this project...

buy most parts from TRD. i just find it alot more reliable. most tC owners buy their superchargers from TRD as well as headers. get a cat-back exhaust, cold-air intake, just the basic needs to produce 50-100 hp gain =/
what else can i say w/o looking under the hood of your car.

Rofl. TRD doesn't make most of this stuff...mainly because the Mkiv Supra hasn't been manufactured for several years. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that TRD doesn't even make enough bolt-on parts to put a tC into the 9s...and that was SupraFTW's question: "What mods do i put in an MKIV to make it a 9 second car".

You probably shouldn't say anything else (on this topic) imho...SupraFTW was asking what modifications would need to be made to a STOCK '93-'98 Supra Turbo in order to get it to run 9s. The only thing you'd find under the hood of a bone-stock supra are the bone-stock components. What else would you expect?

TRD uses aftermarket parts and puts their logo on them. For example, TRD struts are manufactured by KYB.

go to trdsource.com
trd manufactures parts

http://www.trdsource.com/toyota.asp

type in the model (supra), year, and engine (turbo)
then look down and you see a table. hope i didn't lose you already 'cuz we're almost done. at the right side of the table, you see a list of manufacturers. read it for yourself.

trd actually makes much more but they rarely update their list. if you go to your local toyota dealership (supraftw) you can ask them there or you can just call them.

as a matter of fact. trd does produce superchargers use the same site and look up tC's. all you gotta do is read magazines. or have friends.

Rofl I'm sure you can get better pricing for civic or rustang parts from bubba's knock-off mild steel header & exhaust press-bending service. Unfortunately, quality parts (that fit and work properly & reliably right out of the box) for an ultra-rare $70K GT Sportscar tend to be a bit more pricey.
