Exclamation Celica ECU Chipping?
I need help finding someone or a shop to street tune my 02 GT Celica. I need more horsepower...I have already done exhaust, header and intake. Most of the local shops I have went into around here are lame and don't want to touch it.

What is there to tune? Your car is basically stock. You can put an AFC or something to that extent but for what........MAYBE 2-3 horses? If you want decent horsepower out of it, your best bet is forced induction

What would you suggest for forced induction...do those electronic superchagers work that are on ebay? I really don't want to spend much more than $600....I just need a little more to be happy. What do you think of nitrous?

Don't waste your money on that eBay crap. Nitrous is going to be your best "bang for the buck". You'll be around the 1k mark with parts and install for a basic kit

No go with a turbo set up. I was cruzin with a spanish guy who had a silver Celica and it was actually quick. Didnt get traction through 1-2 I was surprised. But Deff go for Turbo and maybe a 50-75 shot at most

Read what he wrote though. He doesn't want to spend over 600 bucks
