For what you get for the $$$ with the Supercharger, I would do a custom turbo job with an ES.

Cool

My car is pretty much stock because its too cherry to mod
The only things ive done are advanced base timing, lean out AFM, threw in Denso Iridium plugs, Vitek wires, new cap/rotor, Castrol Syntec 5-30 and thats pretty much it. The 5 speed helps too. I run only OEM oil/air/fuel filters. I routine clean up the IAC, TB, and Intake chamber and it purrs like a kitty. Once I get my valves back into spec shell be good to go; i wish i could find shims though

Maybe my Solara one day will be juiced up, since there alot more available parts than a gen 2 ES 300

I also noticed when driving around 80 miles an hour the car begins to shake but then calms down, but then skaes again after about another 50 or so feet! I am wondering what this is! is this the alignment? and wtf is this gona cost me! omg, and then, I also need a new power steering pump. The car only has great power stearing when my rpms r high! like driving, but when parellel parking, the car is a hastle to turn. What is this? Is it the pump? What kinda pump should i buy? I hope anyone can help me! I am a bit low on cash with work and school and such and i dont know how much more im gona be able to put into my car. This is really hurting me! well thanks again all for posting on my thread

If you can please list the product installed/company+website it can be purchased at and also the year of the car the product was put in that would be great! And of course say how much HP was actually added and the cost of the part!

Did you just hijack your own thread?

This is probably useless to all of us... but it's part of performance...
But it only applies to turbo setups with water spray kits at the intercooler. If you use alcohol, you will gain more HP than using water. This was tested on my cousin's Evo VIII.

Does anyone know if its a HUGE risk to spray our cars? Or is it just risky depending on who the driver of the car will be? and how often and under what conditions they use it?....
