This mite be a re post so if it is I apologize I was thinking about it and what's so different from the "N/A" supra and the "twin turbo" once? I know the fact that the "twin turbo" has 2 turbos and they are 6sp or auto, but I mean can you make an "N/A" turbo? Like built the engine and put together a single turbo kit? Or can you just put together one with the stock engine? Do you have to swap the engine? Is it even worth it?

You can put a turbo on the N/A, but its not the same engine as the Turbo. (If im not mistaken the Turbo has bigger headers) You could swap the engines if you already have a N/A, but even then its not worth it, cuz the Turbo comes with other goodies such as better brakes and whatnot

Yeah, I believe different internals, pistons, etc. NA-T Mk4s will be fine, if you dont go all out heavy on them then they'll be fine, but I dont have any experience here and I havent researched them much.

NA has smaller fuel pump, smaller injectors (330cc, high imp), NA head can bolt onto TT block; vice versa, But the intake/exhaust manifolds from the TT are not interchangeable.

If you look in the bottom end you will find factory forged bullet proof crank, hot-forged connecting rods, forged aluminum alloy pistons, and extremely durable rings, the first compression ring being chromium plated, and the piston skirts themselves are coated with a resin to decrease friction. This is on an NA motor, should be the same on TT motor besides lower compression.

Yes you can turbo the NA motor, there are many turbo kits out there. I recommend the Boost Logic turbo setup:

There are many high HP NA-T's out there, one of them being Dave H's 9 second stock internal NA motor... Just search for DaveH.
