Long story short im hooking up with a buddy on the site and making a deal.... no details yet until it's all confirmed, but what are the major issues with boosting and what should be replaced on the car to be safe if im going to be running 8-10 lbs on a stock engine. Let's assume145k miles on it..... why? Because I don't want to swap...

Remember that the most important choice is turbocharger selection. For 200whp you could use a very, very small turbo that'll spool instantly, like a T25/T28 size turbo, or a very small t3 hybrid (50/48 eBay hybrid)
For 300HP you don't need to go balls to the wall kind of build. 300HP is easily achievable on stock block and head with the proper tuning. If you're looking for balls to the wall performance you're looking at 5S-GTE with a GT35 kind of build, and on a FWD it's pointless to go above 300HP unless you're using slicks and reinforced axles, mounts etc. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

definitely. i have the perfect turbo in mind for my power goals....
and i know i don't have to go crazy with the build, but i want to make it done and done right the first time i do it so its just going to hold up for a long time. i'm just planning on a moderately built 5s-FTE. i'm just trying to do as much reading up on my favorite 5sftes over the years getting info on what i'm going to be looking at... the ones i review include but are not limited to: Severx13s, pressure2s, supershannons, and Smaays. definitely some great builds! -------------------- NOVAKx17
