well actually im going to make my own turbo mainfold. the plan is to buy a s366 with a 1.01 a/r tangical turbine housing and then make a twin scroll manifold out of 304ss weld els and use 2 44mm tial knockoff wastegates. this setup is for my gt4082 which will be sold once i finish the other setup. ive had a tial knockoff bov on the car for over a year now. works the exact same as a real tial. you can badmouth the parts ive bought all you want, i dont care. simple fact is its my car and my money, so ill do with them as i please. and if you want to talk about saving money, i saved ~$300 with this wastegate and $1k+ with the manifold. and when i make the twin scroll manifold myself ill be saving ~$2k. price a "fullrace" twinscroll turbo manifold for a supra. ~$2600 last i checked.
yeah bitch!

well got my return yesterday so started the shopping spree already. with any luck in a few months the car will be up and running with this turbo setup, my ffi, fmic with 3in pipes, new rims/tires, rear bbk added, and possibly paint. ordered the rims, tons of stuff for my tig, a bunch of por-15 stuff(got to stop any and all rust so my rust free hatches remain that way), misc tools, etc.. and shopping for a new daily driver as well. ill post more pics as stuff rolls in. also ordered ~$350 worth of stuff from welding depot for the tig, and still need to go get the argon tank, grabbing a 249cf cylinder. also gonna be sending my hks cams to be repaired so i can finish the 6m in my 86. maybe ill find someone to trade me some 45's for my 40mm dcoe's or buy my 40mm dcoe's so i can buy some 45's. time will tell.
btw, rims are rota rb-r's 17x8.5 +4 front and 17x9 -13 rear. and ill prolly be running 245/40/17 nitto nt555's up front and 275/40/17 nt555r's rear.

started out with 17x8.5 +4 front and 17x9 -13 rear. problem is the 17x9's have way less lip then the 17x8.5's. plus with the -13 offset, if i run a 275/40/17 drag radial as i plan, itll rub badly. soi sent the 17x9's back and got 2 17x7.5 +4 for the front instead. they are hyper black centers with polished lip.
17x9 left, 17x8.5 right
this is the 17x8.5 on the rear
this is 17x7.5 left and 17x8.5 right
17x7.5 +4
17x8.5 +4
17x9 left, 17x8.5 right
this is the 17x8.5 on the rear
this is 17x7.5 left and 17x8.5 right
17x7.5 +4
17x8.5 +4
