Default is300 build

Wondering if i should swap my supercharger for a turbo setup instead? and is the 2jzge block the same base as a 2jzgte without the turbo set up and the ecu and manifolds?

I have seen your vids on YouTube and love the car. It's really different, and the supercharger adds to the difference. So if I were you I would turbo it but I think you lose so of the "rare-ness" if you do. Any way you go, it'll still be sick.

No. different motors. manifolds will not fit. so dont expect to get a GTE manifold or stock GTE twins and bolt them right up.

based on his other post, im going to guess keeping the supercharger may not be an option

Turbo it. More power, less hassle. Trust me, even just 7 psi will be enough if you want a little more umph.

P.S. I have set of new GTE internals (rods, pistons, bearings), if you do decide to build to motor....
