Default Got a new car. TURBO! *new pics*

So I just picked up a 1991 Toyota Supra turbo for 2800. Had 6,000 in reciepts for new low milage motor 7mgte installed by a performance shop, and full HKS exhaust system w/ HKS downpipe, and all the goods. Car has the targa top, but it's an automatic. Pulls suprisingly pretty hard. The interior needs quite a bit of work, and the car is very dirty. exterior needs a little attention too, but NO rust thank god. runs and drives flawless or I wouldn't have bought it. has new tires and such. Figured I got a decent deal on it.

Those are fun/solid cars just heavy as ------- hell. Good torque even on the na models, i cant imagine driving the boosted version.

invest in a set of headstuds and a metal headgasket. Car should be pretty solid after that without that many worries.

550hp here you come (usable power too). Then go find some rustangs to pick on.

digging through the reciepts Kaos Motorsports out of Louisville installed a metal headgasket, but says nothing about the headstuds. another reciept says "Head machine work- 1825.00" there was another reciept for 3,250, for the motor, installation, turbo parts like blowoff valve, turbo timer etc., exhaust, aftermarket radiator and a few other things done in november of last year.

Yeah, I know nothing about Toyotas, as i've mainly owned and worked on Hondas. So i'm gonna do some research and figure out what turbo would be ideal. Not looking for 550, but 350-400 would suit me well.

From working on a 300zx to those supra's they are my preference due to ten times more engine bay space
