93-96 uses the long aluminum mounts they look like the TRD mounts.
97-98 uses the short mounts with will on the SC300 brackets, they are about the same height as the stock SC 300 mount but the are firm (better) than the stock SC mounts.

93-96 uses the long mounts , they are identical to the TRD mounts you will need to replace your motors mounts brackets to run those mounts.
So to make things easier just get the 97-98 mounts they are PNP on the SC300 and SC400.

The oil pressure switch is right behing the compressor and the feed for the VVTi solenoid is on top by the #1knock sensor.

Your also going to have to find an oil feed source for the turbo as a GE block is not tapped for it on the passenger side like a GTE block.
You will also have to tap your oil pan unless you are just sourcing a GTE rear sump.

the GE block is already tapped on the passenger side.and tapped on the oil pan for the return.

Richard, any block GE or GTE would suffice for your power goals. Now to answer your question, I don't see Toyota installing the GTE in their TT Toyota Supras if that were the case..
