Help me, Big decision for me.

Just my opinion - an n/a Supra is not much better than a Celica. The looks without any performance to back it up is weak. Get a cheap daily driver and save up for a TT. Either way you decide to go, I hope you find a well-maintained, reliable vehicle. Good luck!

By the way, what's your application? If you're going to roadrace with your Supra, you'll need to do something about the n/a brakes. Don't try to stop TT-level horsepower with n/a brakes. When you start thinking about things like this (and adding up all the costs), you'll come to realize why an n/a-T is generally a bad idea.

I'd agree with the prior poster.

Have you driven a TT? I had/have an MKIII turbo and thought I would be o.k. with an MKIV N/A. Boy was I wrong. Even my MKIII turbo with just an exhaust felt faster than the N/A MKIV. Don't get me wrong....there's nothing wrong with the N/A MKIV but it's just not the same when you drive the TT. Once I drove the TT I knew I would not be buying a N/A and the work and money to convert the N/A to Turbo was just not worth it to me.

Good luck on your search, it took me awhile before I finally bought my TT MKIV.

Congratulations on your decision. You won't regret it. Save that $15K towards a TT - in the meantime you're TT-less (not Supra-less).

That might be possible, even with another supra doing that ^
