With a turbo kit, I'm already "single turbo" like most Supras do anyway. Add more fuel and turn up the boost. The NA-T just seems much more cost efficient and less of a headache even if I have to pay a shop to do all the work.
trust me, I can build a 500whp 1jz including the swap cheaper vs a NA-T kit making 500whp...
it will also be a MUCH cleaner swap and be a much better daily driver

Question

Care to elaborate on this and why a 1jz-gte would be a better daily driver compared to a single turbo NA-T?

If the GE-T is tuned right there won't be any issues......
