My friend has a supra and a lot of MKIV owners swap out the TT and put a single big turbo in. You would buy the TT version because its set up to handle boost from the factory rather than if you bought the NA version you would have to spend a decent amount of cash to make it as stable as the TT version.

My advice just buy the TT version even if it has a lot of miles on it and drop a new engine in and then drop a single big turbo in. You can find a MKIV with 60-100kmiles for 18-24k

I thought about doing that but I just might keep my EVO VIII


I dont reccomend nitrous..my friend uses alky in his supra and he loves it.

Not just boost...horsepower too. The NA driveline (transmission, diff, etc.) doesn't have anywhere near the capability of the TT driveline.

Agreed.

For what it's worth, I do recommend nitrous, but ONLY if it's done right. You need to spray wet (not dry), and ensure ALL of the electronic controls are in place (WOT, RPM window switch, solenoid test buttons, timing retard (depending on shot size) etc.), AND sufficient time dyno-tuing, in order for it to be safe. If you do all of that, it's a great way to make additional power.

Agreed. This will let you run more boost on pump gas.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
