That's quite a good innings for a turbo build then, really.

I have to ask, what will you do with the 130 wasted ponies you have going through the front wheels every time you put your foot down? FWd chassis are not designed to cope with that in any way shape or form.

Why not tune to a comfortable 260 and have an engine that will last you more than 4 weeks and actually be able to use the power? Or better yet buy something properly sporty RWD or AWD and then go for your 400 or 500. Its like putting a V8 outboard motor on a rowboat. You can do it but anyone with half an idea is going to walk away wondering why you bothered...

Or do you have a plan for controlling your front wheels?

I'm not sure what else I would want to buy supra but ur looking at 12 for a manual would also consider rx7 but reliability can be an issue she coped ok with the 360 bhp it was running b4 I smoked it!
