They say 7hp on the test car.. my box was pulling good (better than most N/A) before.. I WILL dyno right after the instal and compare.. Juice is still on the list, so I beleive the combo will be sick.. anyway.. even just the 7 hp.. if it trully adds that to what I have at the wheels now.. will put me at the same HP as a supercharged automatic xB.. (which I can currently slowly pull on, as is)

120 .. but my ultimate goal is 150, N/A which hasn't been accomplished.. however.. one guy got 12 ponies out of the head.. so that and the intake should compliment each other.. but while the head is off.. I want to bump the compression with some forged Yaris/Vitz pistons from the UK where they make lots of internals for the 1NZ.. I think that should do it.. or be pretty darn close.. It will put out the same/more as most bolt on turbo kits with a manual.. One piece at a time!! lol

Yeah theres alot of tuning support for the vitz and the 1nz.
Something i discovered about the mr2 that I didnt know:
In 1998, Toyota Racing Development offered an official kit body conversion and tuning program for MR2 owners to transform their existing SW20 MR2 into a widebody TRD2000GT kit replica car. This was to pay homage to the wins by their TRD2000GTs in the GT-C Japanese racing series, the TRD2000GT racing series cars were based on the SW20 floorpan. Toyota also did the same with their Supra Twin Turbo model, offering a conversion service to transform these cars into a TRD3000GT[4].
TRD2000GT. Notice the wider, more aggressive stance.In order to ensure exclusivity, a high price tag was charged and total of just 35 factory car conversions were completed by Toyota Technocraft Ltd. Each official Technocraft car converted was made using lightweight fibreglass components (in place of heavy steel original parts: front fenders, trunk lid extension, rear quarter panels, gas door, front and rear bumpers, 3-piece wing) and re-classified as completely new cars (with their own specially numbered TRD VIN plate riveted to the body to indicate their authenticity and rarity).
The Toyota Technocraft Ltd. TRD2000GT had a 60 mm (2.4 in) wider front and rear track (due to the addition of wider wheels and tires) which improved handling considerably over the original equipment. Virtually every car converted also had other TRD parts fitted too including extensive changes to both the suspension and engine. Most cars left the factory making more power due to TRD bolt-ons, some cars even left the factory boasting up to 500 PS (493 hp/368 kW) and less than 1100 kg (2425 lb) for a very impressive power to weight ratio. While TRD Japan only offered a small number of kits with all body parts required for third-party conversion, Toyota Technocraft Ltd. offered complete car conversions.
Only 3 complete Toyota Technocraft Ltd. cars are known to have been shipped into Europe with only 10 complete cars allocated to TRD USA for the entire American market. This makes these officially built Toyota Technocraft Ltd. TRD2000GTs the rarest of all MR2s and ultimately the most sought after and difficult to find. It is unknown how many original Toyota Technocraft Ltd. cars still exist today, but it is known that a small number of conversion kits were imported from TRD Japan into the US for USDM Conversions. Now there are officially no more TRD 2000GT body kits sold on the TRD USA website, so finding one may be difficult (The alternative to this kit is said to be the TD3000 bodykit by Extreme Dimensions). In many respects the extended body can be compared to that of a Porsche Turbo widebody. The car track width is extended and body dimensions dramatically changing the cars overall visuals, giving the car a "supercar" look, and also better handling and weight reduction. Very little is known about these cars outside of Japan.[5]

I want to be Tanner Foust! However, I did see him on "Super Cars Exposed" he was in some form of Ferrari(?).. anyway.. the jist of it.. he was passing an SRT on a highway on ramp, on the shoulder, he did it... then you see a black puff of smoke out of the tail of that SRT as it floored it on his tail and he couldnt shake him.. the chase car couldnt keep up with either of them.. but i give it up to that SRT. Anyway.. Tanner Foust can drift anything.. very well... i am a jealous flucker
