-Japan Spec CA18DET w/AC-Apexi Intake-AfterDark Downpipe-MKIV Supra Intercooler with custom 2.5 in pipes-GReddy TD-06 19C turbo on stock manifold(need a t3 flange to weld on, but where?)-Walro255lph Fuel Pump-HKS metal headgasket(where can I get better head bolts?)-GReddy Profec-B-GReddy Full Auto Turbo Timer-GReddy Boost Gauge-New timing belt-3" Cat-back(probably Dual Dragger by GReddy)

I guess thats about it. What kind of power can I expect at the wheels at around 1 bar of boost? (I want to upgrade cams, valve springs, etc. but I need to get my coilovers and wheels first.)

Thanks!~Ian

If you're going to add that type of turbo, why not upgrade the fuel management as well (Ie injectors, AFM and eprommed ecu). You put that big turbo on that engine and start cranking on the boost, your entire fuel system will be on the brink (minus the fuel pump). But with that set up and stock AFM, injectors and stock ECU should yield you in the ballpark of 235-250whp!

I used the stock manifold with a welded flange and a T3/T04B and extracted 312.5whp@18psi in a FWD configuration. But if you're gonna use a bigger turbo, it might be best to get a decent manifold made that's a bit more efficient!
