Supra's were never cheap cars. I got bored one day and adjusted the 1988 MSRP for a turbo Supra for inflation and it came out to something like $59K. I would be surprised if this MkV would priced within reach if the average MkIII owner.

Everything was torqued according to the TSRM. The flange at the turbo still had a leak small enough that at 1 bar it had tiny foam bubbles. Cleaned the surface, new gasket and re-torque to spec fixed it. As for the clamps it was my first time using silicone hoses and t-bolt clamps so I erred on...
Did a leakdown test yesterday and it uncovered a couple small pressure leaks at hose clamps and a pin hole sized leak on the turbo coolant feed flange. Everything fixed, bled the system and so far everything is normal.
