nope Greeeeedy doesn't make kits for our cars ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Their turbos are compatible with the manifolds of the various kit-makers for the SC300 cars
There's Toyomoto, Sound Performance, Powerhouse Racing, F-max, and several others
Toyomoto is touted to be the best, but they are also the most expensive... I'm sure one of the Toyomoto-kit owners will come put the phone number and website up here for you
Toyomoto will work with you to customize your kit if the Stage I or Stage 1.5 is not enough for you
Sound Performance can strut their stuff as making the fastest kits, since their SP63 kit on a SupraTT ran 9s...
I'm not sure about PHR's kit, but they own the fastest unibody Supra in the world... makes 1200rwhp... they also do the SupraTT motor and transmission swap for a price...
F-max makes the affordable kit; albeit the manifold from what I've seen is kinda crappy
Their turbo is the same brand as the Toyomoto and like Toyomoto they work with you to pick your components if the stock setup is not enough (like a bigger turbo, etc)... their $4800 kit also comes with a FMIC... it wouldn't be beyond craziness to buy the Toyomoto manifold, pick a turbo, then buy everything else from F-max; which is what i want to do...

different bolt pattern
I guess that would blow out any chance of doing the turbo conversion using a set of stock twins that have been relegated to the parts shelf from being upgraded
doh doh doh doh doh doh doh doh!

nope, but a GTE head WILL work on the GE block...
not sure what compression level it will give, you'd prolly need a different head gasket to lower it down to a SupraTT's 8.5:1
but no, the TT manifolds of any kind will not bolt up to a 2jZ-GE motor... you have to do the head swap

EDIT: I just found/compared pics of the exhaust flange on both heads... Not even close to the same!

I am not, however, too "smart" to follow the path others have blazed for me. I have found an incredible amount of knowledge on this board and do appreciate the number of quality posts. I have seen a lot of redundant questions so I'm trying to spend more time reading and less time typing to find the information I need and if I ask a question you think has been answered before I must have overlooked it.
For now, I'm going to go back to quietly lurking and hopefully someone will answer my remaining question here (question #2)
Again, thanks for the bandwidth

As for the other question, that had to do with the Supra rear diff. I had linked the "here" in my previous post to another thread, I've hilighted it so it'll be easier to follow
