Engine swap or buy a Supra turbo... If you are mechanically inclined you can build your own turbo kit. You'll need a turbo manifold, turbo, intercooler, gaskets, oil lines, water lines, upgraded fuel system, all piping and fittings, etc.... It'll be cheaper and less stressful just to go and buy a turbo Supra.

I agree a turbocharger would've been better for fuel economy and reliability reasons, but:
Since there are aftermarket turbo kits that boost the tC's output by considerably more than 40 horsepower, we ask why TRD didn't go the turbo route. He mentions the tC's close-coupled exhaust catalyst that makes a turbo difficult, if not impossible, to fit. "We wanted to keep the installation simple for our dealers. Plus, a turbo generates a lot more heat under the hood."
