Message	Because I've been thinking about picking up a Supra as a 2nd car, despite the looks - 600+whp on stock internals just sounds very tempting. Anyway I came across a boost chart in the 03/01 Turbo magazine comparing boost charataristics of 2 UPRD built 97 Supras, one with a Greddy T88 and the other with HKS2835's. The Twin setup has a *tiny* edge down low but really they are almost identical: 2500rpm 1.5psi, 3500rpm 3.5psi, 4500rpm 9psi, 5500rpm 17.5psi - they limited boost to 18 psi in the test. I was totally bummed that these 2 cars would be almost undrivable without nos on the street, absolutely nothing like what I expected, especially for the HKS twin setup. I have emailed several Supra guys about it, including (ahem) several from TTnet and so far have received ZERO response. I am hoping someone can tell me it's possible to do better but so far no one has come forward. Starting to lose interest in the Supra.
