Whoa 21psi on a 100% stock tC1
For example, the 2AZ-FE that is found in the tC 1st gen can hold up to 21lbs/1.5bar of boost pressure safely WITHOUT any internal engine modification. That means NO new pistons, NO new connecting rods, NO new crankshaft, and NO sleeving. Not many manufacturers can make such a claim. Is that "AWESOME" enough for you?
Why wasn't I notified of this...
I responded to inform him and the response:
Talked to Rado at the South beach premier of the xB2 and xD.
He did the development and stated that the connecting rods fail at around 22~23 PSI. Anything under that; the engine holds solid.
If you disagree, then give him a shout and verify; I'm going to go with the guy who has developed a turbo kit for the car and races professionally.

If that statement were true then A LOT of people would run 20 psi out the gate rather than the usual 10-14 psi. If memory serves me correct I believe that a few people did try and run 20 psi on a stock block and it lasted a week at most. Like johnnyb305mia said....its a tC not a Supra.
