Guest Confedmarine Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hello all, looking for some advice if anyone can spare the time. Am going to get a Mkiv Supra in the next few months and am debating a couple of scenarios, namely: 1) Buy a twin turbo, enjoy and get used to the power. Then upgrade to a single turbo. 2) Buy a non-turbo, enjoy and get used to the power, with possibility to upgrade. Before someone tells me that's stupid - can you take a non-turbo and graft on a single fat turbo? Or is the car simply not set up for 400bhp+? Ie, should i buy the non-turbo at a reduced price and save money in the long run? Cheers, Confed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is the car simply not set up for 400bhp+? Fitting a turbo to the NA engine is not worth the expense, you'd get around the same power as a BPU TT but for much more cost than it would be to just fit a TT engine. Take your time to read the FAQ and Guides section, in particular http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/forumdisplay.php?f=60 and the underlined BPU article. Welcome.

Gaz6002 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hi, use the search button, this has been covered several million times. TT is a better buy IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2o2 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Buy a twin , enjoy it , maybe upgrade to BPU Further down the line and once you've saved enough cash then you can think about going single . Welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordy07 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I bought a NA and it is quick but sometimes i wish it had a turbo or two,but it is an aerotop so i can slot a TT in there and im laughing:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
