With these simple parts below:
HKS Intake (Got this)
Greddy IC (Need to buy, any offers)
Greddy Profec B II Boost Controller (Got this)
Greddy Boost cut gizmo (Got this)
HKS SS B.O.V. (Got this for fun, you actually dont need it)
Any 2.5" Exhaust (Need to buy) *Wanna help me gut the cat?
Red line fluids (Just for good measure)
With the parts above, and without touching any timing, cams, fuel pressure.... and running at 16lbs of boost.... I bet I will reach 276hp (230rwhp) easy. Yeah, thats right easy with a stock engine, clutch, and the so called "crappy" CT-26 stock turbo.
You won't run 12's with that combo. The all time record for a ct26 is in the high 12's (I believe) bu noshoes with a completely built motor, huge cams, highly tuned, and on the ragged edge of destruction. The problem is that 230rwhp does not = 276hp. The estimate of 200hp in the stock mr2 was a marketing decision, not a scientifit reality. Do you really think there is 40hp lost in the small dirvetrain of an mr2? You need over 240rwhp to make 12's and that's if you drive like a maniac with sticky tires. I'm not trying to be a jackass...I'm just trying to keep you from going down the road that thousands of mr2 owners have paved with high 13 second timeslips.
