I got kinda bored at school today and started looking for 7a-fe turbo kits, the only ones I can see are the corollas. There should be no diff. between our engine and theirs right? So technically a corolla turbo would work on a celica st? Also, what do you guys think of turboing a car with almost 100k miles on it? I don't want anything insane, maybe 6-8 psi, just something to give the car the kick in the ass that it needs.

depends on how much money you want to spend
get the fuel system to support 15psi, and have a way to control ignition and fuel, and you should b able to drive the car, with a reduction in life expectancy, but not necesarily blowing the engine. anything that cools the intake charge more and lets you put in more fuel will allow for more boost. fmic, intercooler sprayer, water injection, menthol(sp?) injection, bigger injectors, better fuel pump, performance FPR, engine management. it all helps, that and dyno tuning. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition
