    I see a lot of these headers on ebay and want to order one but it looks as though the O2 sensor bung is too far back for the stock O2 sensor to reach. Can someone enlighten me on this? Also, where do the headers mate to? Do they go all the way back to the cat?

    turbo swap or turbo kit???

    You could always setup a turbo on a NA for low boost with a FMU, Retarded timing, manifold, elbow, Downpipe, Turbo, BOV. This would be good for around 5Psi and you could piece it together for around $800.00 easy. Granted you would max out at around 230-240HP. But thats like a stock 7MGTE.

    Powder Coated Manifold

    Standard powder coating will not withstand the temperature however there is a "high Temperature" powder coating available that will handle it easily. its a bit more expensive but worth it IMO.

    Lightweight Driveshafts "worth it"?

    Is there a noticable benefit in going with a lightweight driveshaft? Are there composite/graphite driveshafts available for the MKIII NA 5-Speed? Anyone have a source for a low cost aluminum direct replacement?

    boost gage

    I dont know much about the turbo supra's but I do know that some boost gauges read in .hg and some read in psi. 4 X psi = about 17-18 .hg so that may be the answer. The supra gauge probably reads in psi both on vacuum and psi while typical boost gauges read in .hg for vacuum and psi for boost.
