Sleepy John? ;)

2.5" intercooler hardpipes
bigger intercooler
manual or electronic boost controller
adjustable fuel pressure regulator
walbro fuel pump with 12v mod
j-tube bypass
bigger inectors
fuel trimming device or your choice
upgraded or bolt-on turbo


But first, bring the car back into a brand new, pristine condition. I would highly recommend a MHG for that power you want.

Atleast! Otherwise rebuild now while you have the money.

head gasket change asap, arp head bolts. youll save yourself a lot of time and money believe me. lexus afm, intercooler, turbo elbow, prepare for a clutch, and save a few thousand dollars on the side in case of the usual supra emergency.
good luck

i'm using this as a guideline. i've jumped around it a bit, but i'm not doing anything on "stage 4" until after the majority of the suspension is done.
