Lots of people go with the T3, unless you plan to make a lot of horsepower.
You'll most likely have to build a custom exhaust manifold, or find one somewhere...if it'll fit a 16 valve 4A-GE, it can be modified to fit the 20 valve 4A-GE. I'm assuming that you're going to go with a AE111 4A-GE right? Are you going to use the 20 valve's ECU, or go standalone? Are you two doing the swap yourselves? I highly suggest reading through the following links before you start this project, as it's going to be very difficult. It'd be sweet to have a 20 valve 4A-GTE though.  http://www.turbocorolla.com/home/default.htm http://www.billzilla.org/carindex.htm http://www.club4ag.com/technical_main.htm -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Why silvertop? The AFM will be far worse for boosting the engine than a MAP setup(like the blacktop has) would be. Plus, you'll be replacing most of the components(rods and pistons) that were lightened when Toyota introduced the blacktop 4A-GE anyway. And it's only a few hundred dollars more...you'll already be spending thousands for everything else.
 Are you going to do the swap yourself? -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

not doing the swap my self , he works at a toyota dealership so he has connection though toyota mecahnic's. we are jusr sourcing the part's togethere. the black top is about 1600 and far way to much .. unless you can find a cheaper black top? i dident know about that afm setup though.. that really sucks.. |

I believe the 20V internals are already forged. What you need to do, is either swap in 4AGZ pistons or go with an aftermarket turbo set. That's about it. I personally would worry more about the actual swap than things like forged internals and which turbo to go with. Handle things according to when they come up... instead of going straight to the "fun stuff". It's like throwing a victory party before the competition starts...
Anyways... the silvertop is AFM... but you can still go with a MAP set-up on that motor. It's just a matter of parts and wiring. If you're looking for a lot of power... go stand alone on MAP.

Yeah, get the blacktop. It'd be pretty weak to go silvertop

Actually... it really doesn't matter too much (black or silver) if he's gonna go turbo... in exception to one uses AFM and the other MAP. The real differences between the Blacktop and Silvertop... head variations, compression and VVT. The VVT system engages slightly different, and allows correction throughout the entire rpms band. The other differences is the cams are slightly more agressive and the compression is higher. The head is also slightly different along with slightly larger ITB's... but that's all little differences that would only mean a few horses in a turbo set-up, assuming you keep everything stock. The silvertop can be made every bit as good as the blacktop. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

No, it'd be only a few hp in an NA engine, once you turbo it, every little difference becomes a LARGE difference in hp; you gain more hp every psi level |

They are very small advantages that do not justify paying more than twice that of a Silvertop. Under forced induction, those small advantages are nullified because they're used for an n/a set-up (ie: higher compression, larger ITBs, VVTi)...
