Well , after doing some research on the 2JZ stock twin turbos I did find out that the JDM spec 2JZ ( the one in my Supra ) has ceramic twin turbos and they can safely handle 17.4 psi or 1.2 bar. The US spec twins can hold up to 20.3 psi or 1.4 bar because they are made out of steel. So , as far as I'm concerned , the engine should make around 400 hp as Mackay said. That was probably the easiest earned hp that I ever got. I'm really glad I did that ! :bananajump:

Added 2 minutes later:

# MACKAY : Don't worry, your Supra will be fine, the only bad thing that could happen is OEM turbos blowing up as they are ceramic and doesn't high boost very well, but two 1.2 bar is safe, we also took care of "boost cut" which happens in VVTI models, I'll tell you more about that in person. ;)

Also I can't wait for tomorrow, I am definitely not letting you buy something stupid, we gonna find something good for sure!

Oh damn ! That's great ! I did some research about the ceramic turbos and as you said , they can indeed run safely at 1.2 bar. That's the easiest power gain ever ! Thank you for telling me !

I can't wait either ! I wonder what we'll find ! God I'm so hyped !
