Most turbo's will have a small amount of radial play, even new ones depending on the type of bearings they use. Axial play is another matter, and you really don't want any at all.

The new ones for $385 or whatever out of China are indeed pieces of junk you would want to stay away. Your best bet would be the "For Sale" forum here or on other Supra boards.

Probably a little less than the stock CT26, but still a pretty safe bet if it's done by a competent shop.

If you're going to go with an upgraded CT26, I'd suggest a 57 trim. It's about the best compromise of power vs. reliability.

Those rods are slides which go into guides on the inside (console-side) of the front seats. The buckle-end of the stock seatbelts bolt onto the transmission hump as well.

If it's blocked-up it will cause a definate exhaust flow restriction which you don't want. If you think you have a problem, I'd recommend one of the Magnaflow hi-performance cats. They do what a...

Have you made certain that the CPS is aligned properly? It doesn't have to be off by much at all to cause the engine to run roughly or not at all.

One of the cables (there are two) may be binding slightly, or the gear at the transmission may be going bad. More likely the cable or cables though.
