Dont know Andy then. 98% of the time hes at work. The other 1% is test driving 200k mi Mk3's whos owner is french canadian/swedish/redneck/wtf plumber who (despite given half hour notice and a previous visit) refuses to wear a shirt and has a horrible asscrack and everything...cant understand half the shit he says...

Thanks anyways Andy!

How long do you plan on keeping those turbos btw? Dont know how much longer that they'll last

oh yeah, and stock parallel twins are ct12a's correct? and the ct12b is whats in the MKIV.. you should pick up a set of these as ive heard they are an easy upgrade... but hey, who gives a shit about twins when you only need 1 turbo anyhow

Yes, on the 1JZ stock paralell turbos are CT-12A's and are made of ceramic. JDM CT-12B's are too, but whoop de doo.

You cant just swap the CT-12A's for CT-12B's, theres alot involved. Theres a few writeups on SF about it; you'll need to mess with the firewall and custom exhaust and everything IIRC. Better off just going with better turbo(s)

Once/If I get a 1JZ, I plan on upgrading but staying with twins. Because twins > one

Yeah thanks, he PM'd me aboot it. Sadly, I had to turn down for a few reasons, mostly because I am a ricer

I wanted 89+ bumper, spoiler, and taillights, no stereo, blah blah. I'm still looking into Poppa Smurfs, and I cant even completely afford his (borrowing ~$500 from mom)
