Agent - show me real numbers from a 1JZ.... show me why a 1JZ is better than a 2JZ, show me real proof. None of the 1JZ guys are putting good reliable strong numbers as opposed to the 2JZ. When I get another MK3 I will be also doing a 1JZ swap but not because I think they are any better than the 2JZ (which they are far from), but because of its rarity and because its a way better sign than the 7MGTE which was obviously not designed to be turbo from the beginning. 2JZ swap on an MK3 will be too costly as opposed to t a 1JZ.
The reason the stock turbos shatter when any more than 15 or so PSI is because they are ceramic blades, which do not mix well with heat. The 2nd turbo on the 2JZ's are made out of ceramic as well which is why the 2JZ guys always blow their 2nd turbo.
I pitty you for even saying you want a 1G-GTE....
