    Is this OK or harmful?

    Also, what advantages/disadvantages would these hoses going nowhere offer? This is my first supra AND turbo engine, so I'm trying to read everything up on this engine that I can. I consulted the Cygnus TSRM, but it is a little confusing and couldn't find this. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong...

    Brand new Supra owner...

    Hey guys, first of all, there's some awesome knowledge to be had amongst you guys. As you can tell, I've done tons of research on here before I bought my Supra the other day, and it has helped a ton. Just haven't had the need to post anything yet! Bought this 87 7MGTE 5-spd, 123000, $2300...

    New to supra/cars . I GOT A FREE SUPRA. PLEASE HELP!!

    Check your inner door jambs, the VIN number is printed there, and If that is torn off, i'm pretty sure it is stamped on the block. Those would be good places to start looking to legalize that diamond in the rough.
