Gaz, I remember you saying you wanted to convert the Supe to single tubby.

I think what he needs is a slightly bigger turbo

Single turbo kits...
Many to choose from but few that actually do worek well!!!
I'd go for induction motorsports... with the cast manifold...
Superb strenght and drivability!!!

Or maybe a kit from powerhouse racing...

Despite the hype/sales pitch there is nothing super about PHR Kits, they are no better than Boostlogic, just cost more.

Induction motorsport cast manifold kits are OK, depends what you want from the kit.

I use BL kits because I know they work, and have never had an issue with one. As for drivability, ultimately that has more to do with turbo selection, and tuning, and very little to do with the choice of manifold or other kit components ( except wastegates, don't buy cheap wastegates!!!)

Whats the response with the BL kit then?

with regards to what? I can get a BL kit with a properly selected single turbo and mapping to out spool stock twins past 2000 rpm.

With respect Terry, your is more than just a good turbo and decent map.

Very true Gaz, but my point is that very little is down to the choice of turbo manifold IMHO

[Turbo T]

exactly that. A cast will spool faster, but not a lot, whereas a tubular will spool slightly slower but have more ultimate power ability. Also, I am still unconvineced on the WG designs used on the cast Supra manifolds I have seen.

That's not mine (yet! ) it's TurboT's. Mine isn't for sale just yet, and I'm damn near stock.

'kay.. Thats the toyota mapping guy that mapped that engine, right?

Thanks Gaz

Reg maps HKS units for TTE in Colgne so maybe thats what you are thinking of.
