Celicia here..
I love me Celica.. but i think its time for my turbos to be upgraded. I am facinated about the GT35 turbo kit but... is it worth the pound? anyone know what kit tufy put in his car? My bf has an STI.. but doesnt deserve it,  his shifting is embarrising.. almost broke up with him b/c of it .. but anyway i want a kit that will rival it or pass it

A 3rd gen engine with stock botom end and stock turbo can run 360 HP easy. Bolting on a big turbo is not the right way to go.
I would suggest an Apexi PFC, 650 or 800 cc injectors, 264/264 IN/EX cams, (sprokets, springs and belt) and a full 3" exhaust. Get to a dyno, get it tuned and be happy  A Blits Access ECU with a boost controller is a nice and cheap upgrade if you are on a budget. Just remember one thing - it's not the turbo that's holding you back it's the breathing ability of the engine which is pretty poor on a stock engine. |
