Use the Search button, theres plenty of info.

Usually any turbo kit for a 2jzge engine will work on our car, except youd have to customize the intercooler pipes. Wikipedia has a list of cars with the 2jzge (Non VVTI)

Stock tranny might or might not be good for 350 hp at the crank. If that's your target for whp, my guess is you'll blow the tranny up before too long. Even 350 hp at the crank may cause transmission problems if there are already issues or it has not been maintained properly.

Here's a thread with pics after the paint, interior, and wheels were done and put on the car:

PM Epik about the boost and crank hp and how it will work with your stock trans. He's done a lot of stuff with a turbo setup iirc and should be a good resource.
