No turbo, I would consider supercharging if it can be done safely. I did it to my 4Runner, if you buy TRD and have it installed by Toyota, it stays under warranty as long as your drivetrain. If you do it yourself, or elsewhere, it is only covered for 1 year.

Well it all depends if its a bolt on install most prob. if it is. But then again if we had to drop off some compression by putting on a larger head gaskets I prob. would still do.

Should have bought the 350 dumbass. 100 HP more on and if you turbo a 250 your going to be back at the HP of a 350.

I personally think it would be great to see a highly modified 250 turning awesome numbers with a MT and AWD.
