Hey guys, I would like to hear from some owners of the swap. I want to know if u guys think its worth it to put that much pwoer into a FWD car? And can u guys use all that power with so much torque steer? is it worth the $6500 this garage is asking to have it done?

doing the swap is the best thing i have every done to my car. it went form an ok and sometimes fun car, to something that can keep up with a bmw M3. looking back the only regret i have, is that i didnt do it sooner.
as long as you have 17s or 18s with good tires, the TQ steer really isint a bad thing. its more like a fun thing that puts a smile on your face. the coolest thing about owning a turbo celica, is that you can control the power the car makes. u want 50hp more? no problem, turn the boost up. you want 50ho less, turn it down. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
