True, havent heard anything bad about any of the Supra trannys from any years. I think they're pretty solid, depending on how they're treated of course.

Thanks man, i was wiery about the 2800 because of the little ---- on the interior that pissed me off, cracked dash, broken turn signal, cracked leather seats etc. but it was so mechically sound and ran so good that I couldn't pass it up.. it's def worth puttin a bit more into.

Put head studs and up the boost. Also the ct-26 turbo it comes with is not that good, you might want to look at a holset .

Is that safe? I dont want to dump 250 for an electronic one, but just a little generic jobby would work fine i'd assume. Didn't know how much boost the 7mgte would like for a daily. I've heard they're pretty strong blocks. Also would fuel delivery be an issue if I went with more boost? on the stock psi guage 8psi is it's max, and it's scary when it gets above 3k rpm and full throttle.

glad to see your boosted, finally.

no HMT, but boost none the less. Throw a mbc on it, swap out your boost gauge to something that reads more the 8 psi. normally a boost map will adjust fuel accordingly to psi levels.
