I don't know where that info might be, other than the TSRM: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/mk3/

Also, give us some more information about the turbo. Define "took a poop" and not literally please :p. Is it blowing lots of smoke, not boosting, completely destroyed, melted down, etc. Does it have any side-to-side shaft play, forward-to-back play, does it spin freely?

Ive already check there, and it didnt have much info

but for the turbo there is no shaft play what so ever. it started smoking pretty bad one day they all of a sudden seized up, when i pulled it off the car the oil feed line was clogged so I it died from oil starvation. im just wounding how bad they internal are. My plans for my back up was to upgrade to 60:1 but now i might be scratching that idea unless the one that just went out isnt in to bad of shape

Depending on what your setup's going to be you might consider a 57 trim over 60-1. There way more relible. We're you letting the turbo cool down everytime before shutting off? If not that could be your problem.

shouldnt it be rebalanced though

Yes, it should.

This method, IMO, should ONLY be used as a temporary fix and nothing above stock boost levels. ALL turbos should be rebalanced professionally prior to installing on your car if you want it to last as long as the stock turbo did...
