Turbo planning [i hate this ;) ]
I've always thought there would be room for a single if :
1)
you moved the battery to the trunk or got a small one
mounted the turbo in the battery tray area with the compressor inlet pointing at the driver side of the car
ran the downpipe under the motor and crossmember
ran the ic piping down to the IC then back up the other side
2)
you mounted the turbo in the intake area at an angle where the compressor inlet was pointing at the headlight housing
ran the downpipe under the motor and crossmember
ran the ic piping down to the ic then back up the other side
ran a super short intake
this could all be assisted by removing the fan shroud and getting 2 or 3 very hirpm electric fans with smaller shrouds

If you don't have the skills to put it together yourself, this project is going to cost you a fortune. I'm guessing your talking about the SC400. There's actually lots of SC400 running turbos. The biggest downfall is the transmission cause nothing bolts up the 1UZ motor. I know the W58 is only good to about 450 before ---- starts blowing apart and the automatic is even worse. So the motor may be reliable but the drivetrain is going to be a timebomb.
Good luck.
Good luck.

yes i am talking about the sc400. for the tranny i plan on getting the torque converter rebuilt, and stall at 2400 rpm i think it was. and i am also getting a cooling kit for the tranny so it wotn go boom. i dont know if ill go past 350, probably not since itll be already plenty fast with that horsepower in it. i dont plan on getting everything done for me. i found someone who is making a manifold for the engine that will work on the sc400. so thats taken care of. YEYEYEYEYE
now i need to know how much you guys thing getting charge pipes made will cost.
thanx!
