Message Gyro said it flat out in the supra forum, there are MANY cars you can get a shitload of HP out of for super cheap, but there's always a trade off. When we quote to the average ZTT/twinturbo.net newbie, $1500 - $1600 for Stage 3, why do we? Because we think that's a solid, CORRECT way to obtain 100 more crank HP. We COULD all be telling them to buy $.50 boost jets, yank the cat back exhaust and cut the intake off. Then we could all run around and say, holy shit, the Z is better than a fucking F-15 airplane because I added 80 rwhp for 50 cents! But we don't. So fucking quit with the nickel and dime mods. If I wanted a big piece of shit that is a lot of horse power and zero class, I'd build myself an 8 liter V8 with 7:1 pistons and a 500 shot pro-fogger.

Fucking christ. "Pull the hoses, buy the apexi shit-ass tinfoil exhaust" .. Tada, you've taken a nice, $20K used sports car, put $1800 of SHIT on it and squeaked out some horses.

I recognize that the Supra's turbos are a bit larger, the injectors are a big larger, and the stock bottom end is a bit stronger. The injectors and turbos I envy, but that can be over come. I don't think I'd ever push power levels higher than what most do on the stock Z internals before rebuilding because I thought it was the intelligent thing to do anyway..
