If that is aginst your better judgement, I don't like you better judgment. :p

Give us more of that irrational, and poor judgment. The Supra demands it.

Nice!, what kind of numbers do you think you'll put down with that set up?

no idea. the original turbo was a GT35R....that blew up. i'm now stuck on an ebay special. i'll be surprised if i hit 350rwhp. my old similar setup w/a SP57 made 480 rwhp @ 20 psi....

WTF!
I totally was serious about you going the ebay way, I just thought it looked sorta like ebay.
LOL!
That's funny dr j. Let me know how the turbo does. What's the specs on it, and how much did it cost you?

i can't recommend it.

i got the turbo cheap from someone that bought it on ebay....i then sent it off to be inspected, and sure enough it would have blown itself to pieces had i used it as is. so, it was cleaned up and a sensible turbine housing was put on. this was ONLY as an interim solution to give me SOMETHING to make the car driveable (it's been 2 yrs...). it will be up FS once i can get a new GT35R.

You broke the 35R????

you obviously haven't been trying hard enough! the easy way is to make sure something occludes the oil feed restrictor....
