Once its boosted, im going to go from the engine to the suspension and brakes (coilovers, sways, bigger brakes, ect).
After that then ill work on swapping the tranny out to the v160(6 speed TT tranny). Once thats in, i will up the boost and hopefully make close to 500whp. Then Ill go to wheels and wider tires.

Havent posted in a while but I thought I would update the status of my car.
The tC is back to stock and the Supra is Single Turbo:
Heres the Evolution of the supra so far.
At last decembers Annual Charlotte/concord Supra meet, took the wheels off the tC to dress it up a little bit, the offsets were off but it was better then the faded out center caps of my stock wheels.
Around April/May parts started coming in:
Finally all the parts came in time to start the install, all the parts laid out ready to begin.
Started the install, starting to strip the parts from the car:
Manifold and wastegate are on, Intercooler mounted, starting to run the pipes.
Test fitting turbo and starting to run oil lines, and making progress on the IC piping:
Turbo, BOV, IC piping finished. needed a few more couplers to finished connecting everything:
Polishing the Exhaust Canister to get it ready to go on:
gauges in and wired, still need one more gauge to fill the top hole.
Tightening up the IC pipes. and Finishing the Install, I had to go back and reroute some IC piping because it was hanging to low:
Bumper and lights back on, still need to buy third gauge:
[/QUOTE]
Heres some pictures and a Video:

Idk if this should be moved now because its more about my supra then the tC. Ill let the mods decide that.

God I love your supra. I would love one. Maybe when i pay off the tC i will search for one and sell the tC and buy a beater so I can buy the supra. But I am gonna move this to Off Topic other Car threads. Its a Supra thread now!

The car is a real fun car as it sits now even my clutch slips. Im happy with it and Ill be even more happy when I am able to raise the boost. Ill try and get some better videos and sound clips of it. The dyno pull was with a very crappy camera b/c thats all i brought.
