Aight im planning on buying a 1989 supra turbo (of course w/ the tyte targa top) and i heard the stock turbo is only like 6-8 psi. how would i go about boosting that up w/ out a whole turbo upgrade? i mean i will eventually get one but u know how money works.

An electronic boost controller and fuel cut defenser will do the trick. It will approx run you about $300-400 total.

get the boost controller and a 2 downpipe and a air filter system and man youll be out trust me i know for a fact... lol or check this web site out

http://www.triton.cx/cars/supra/hks.html

that there shows you 8 HKS stages to make your supra a lot faster i am kinda doing that but you dont have to use all HKS but this shows you a pretty good outline to do to your supra for 400+ in a couple of steps.

yeah well if your lazy like me you just buy a 2 downpipe anything bigger you kinda gotta make it your self and well i am not the type to sit there and make a pipe for my car but i am not saying that it wouldnt work i am sure if you do it right man a 3 downpipe would be pretty damn cool but anyway even if you put a 2 downpipe and the CAT and the exhast and turn up the boost to 8 psi youll be at 251 horsepower.... pretty fast huh?
