In Reply To	And not having to pull the motor to change turbo set-up posted by SteamyZ(ZtoyZ.NET©) on June 14, 2002 at 11:48 PM
Message	For your average joe like me, pulling the engine and upgrading the turbos for me is NOT a DIY. $3k for a turbo kit is one thing, but when you need to double the cost for installation... point of diminishing returns. However if I had a Supra with the turbos sitting on top, I'd be much more willing to attempt upgrading them. I've heard of people putting on a single turbo in a day or two in their garage.
