A little bit of both. But mostly the fist sized hole in that engine. haha. I would hate to be in that car when that happened! Good luck man.

yeah, i bet it wasnt a pretty sound! thanks!

im having quite the argument going on inside my head and i kind of need some advice. its a simple question to say the least but should i purchase a stock CT-26 or should i go for a T4 with external wastegate etc?

I came accross the same question, You can do 1 of three things bud,

1.) Make sure the stock is legit, and save yourself the headach for now and just slap it on, make some boost just to make sure everything is okay with the other million things that could go wrong before you get rid of your stock oil lines and plug water lines for an upgrade, and while your driving your stock mklll you put togeather i nice drop in turbo set up. manifold, ex. wastegate, dump pipe, oil lines etc.

2.) bite the bullet and get it done, do the nice upgrade deal with the sh*t you gotta do to get it in.

Or 3, Got to ebay search in supra turbo's, a brand called cxr racing makes a huge turbo, a t67 instead of the 26. that bolts to your stock exaust dp and manifold AND oil lines. sh*t even your stock innercooler piping doesnt need to change. the even offer a new downpipe the oen but not cast and NOT 2 1/2 inches, like the factory. you can get both shipped for bout 600.


I did three and got a new garret t77 thats in my map range. the cxr turbo spools and sounds and looks great, bout 30% cooler then stock, and caries the cfm great at 13 psi before boost cut. lol.:dance:

hey man, thanks for the feedback! on ebay and checking out suggestion #3 now!:x:

just bought a stock replacement. im just going to start out small for now until i learn the car better and feel more comfortable with it! the next question is going to be which kind of downpipe i should run! lol

Lol, yea the t67 is a bit pricey but well worth it. but im glad you chose a responsable path.

Megan offers a nice down pipe. even with the stock turbo. i could take a pic but keep in mind mine's older. lol, its an entire dp that goes the 3 inch.

oh cool! yeah, i am leaning more towards a divorced downpipe. there's one on ebay for about $260 that i really like. what do you think about them? btw, thanks for answering the thousands of questions that i have!

I seen it, hounistly you would think for so cheap the welds would look like bubble gum, or the sainless would rust even. but i found it to work great for the 240. same brand, same ebay account. I DID have to modify it a we bit but nothing crueshel. doubt you would have to do it on the supra, its DP path is way more forgiving..

And brother, its a pleasure. this forum has saved my ass more thimes then i blinked in my life. lol, :rofl:

well, after a long freaking wait, i am finally going to pick up the new motor on friday! the car should be up and running soon!!!!!!!!!! :offwall:
