ok i forgot to post this, but i went to burien toyota and talked to them about there kit.

everyone here and everywhere else says dont go past 7psi non-intercooler etc... i agree, but burien told me that their kit can be run at 14psi unintercooled. and that they have been doing on their celica for 2 years now. and you dont need a boost controller to set the boost. they do it off there pop-off vavle which controlls the psi instead of a wastegate.

so if 7psi makes 185 horsepower or whatever than 14 psi should make anywhere from 210-240 horse.

how much of what the burein mechanic told me was true i dont know. but he did work at burien TRD and tell me this face to face. i looked at their celicas and N/A mr2 that run their. and even a decently nice all-trac.

now i have the "swap". But if i were to go back now since i know what a pain in the ass and how expensive the swap really is, i would of definatly of gone with buriens kit.
