Guest andy s2k Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 he had it up for just over 7k about 3 weeks ago i think, and i thought that you couldn't put 500hp though a auto box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 What brand turbo/manifold/intercooler/wastegate, sniffs of being a low budget build to me. If it goes poop could end up being an expensive buy. I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole, but then I again there's not many singled cars out there I would buy. If I had £7k I'd rather buy a good example stock TT manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andy s2k Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 id love a manual but i carn't seem to find one for 7k i must be looking in the wrong places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 XS-Power at a guess...The T70 sort of says that, and the clear reinforced hose breather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Hmmm, looks good, its a single turbo yea, but its making 500, so maybe that price tag is right? dont look like a big turbo either. If you know your cars go over and check it out, take it out for a spin and give it some. If not try to get someone to go with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I hunted back through the sales and I'd rather put my money in something like this: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=224998 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 It's an XS power install, the intake pipe, turbo and manifold give it away. Still, not a bad price if it's done right and doesn't have any issues. I'd wager it not being 500bhp though! IC looks shot. It's certainly worth a look at but be sure to take someone with you who knows their way round a single turbo supra. Also check the injector size and if it has an EMB or EMU ECU. EMB is far from ideal on a single. It has no mention of injectors being replaced, if they are stock 440's then it won't be making more than 430bhp. As mentioned above, Sherriffs car is a far more sensible buy... 6spd too. I nearly bought that car before my black one back in 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
