If my car were a little younger I would definetely go with the F-max or Toyomoto kit. The consensus seems to be that this route is cheaper, less complicated and in most cases actually yields as much if not more power.

yeah i thought it was a pretty good deal too...i wonder what kind of turbine that kit comes with?...and how much more potential would the engine have vs the TT swap... :unsure:

You can specify the turbo options. They typically come with a T04e-60 with buyer specified a/r's and trim. Good turbo.

sounds good to me, but my 95 sc300 5sp has 97000miles on it...would i have to do a rebuild before i turbo it?

Not necessarily. I would highly recommend getting the factory service manuals. Checking all major specifications for motor integrity. Mainly compression testing and leakdown if equipped or have the know how. This will indicate areas to repair before boosting. If all checks well, then you are good to go. Many people have turboed at that mileage without incident. There is an individual I know of that went turbo at over 100,000 miles and has gone 40,000 miles hard with only a head rebuild for more performance and a valve stem leak/valve seating issue due to carbon deposits. He stated that the bottom end looked immaculate and the factory hone marks could still be seen.

Research and testing/knowledge and abiltiy, is the key to success.
