NOS is honestly no problem. You just need the proper electronic controls and tuning time. The guys you hear blowing their sh*t up don't do either - they try to install it untuned and with few or no electronic controls. Percentages are easily and accurately determined by tuning your fuel curve in conjunction with the size of the nitrous nozzles. If you look at it the other way, it's just as easy to blow up your engine with a turbo if you don't upgrade the fuel system and if you don't tune it. In fact, its the same thing exactly.

Hmmm...that (indirectly) brings up other concerns: How many miles on your Supra. Do you have maintenance records? Also before you roadrace OR upgrade it, you need to know precisely what condition the engine is in: Have you done a compression & leakdown test?

Whatever your friend or those shops recommend for your Supra, please post that advice here. That way I can help ensure that they aren't trying to waste your $.

P.S. It's VERY hard to find a shop that really knows how to work on an Mkiv Supra TT. It's more rare than a number of Porsche and Ferarri models. In other words, stay FAR away from shops that specialize in Civics and Eclipses. ;)

well, 41978 miles, engine
compression test Passed
leak down test=13% leakage

and i dont have the maintanance records

and umm when i went today i found a stainless steel downpipe TITAN, i didnt get it yet but 320$ and like 16-17 lbs or summin, what do you recon??

i also saw a Racing Suction Intake HKS that they had, you think i should go for it? he said 500$ (or in qatar's currency, 1800QR), is it useful at this point? because there are only 3 pieces left and it will fit a my TT
