7mg(t)e's are notorious for blowing headgaskets. Most of the time at the back of the head and leaking coolant externally. personally i wouldnt turn up the boost much unless you are prepared to replace the HG. i have in the past torqued the HG down more than the OEM specs and never had a problem with 14psi...but the engine only had 70K on it and was babied from the start. other than that its a fairly strong engine.

I would just get those seals fixed and run a bigger turbo of your choice. I would prefer smaller big turbo with quick spool for DD'n. Thats my opinion.

sorry the seals on the turbo is shot and how big of a turbo can i go

Daft Punk

oh ok well, what do you want,

great daily reliability for a cheaper price. or BIG Turbo for drag strip fun. You gotta find your medium, go to a Supra forum for advice. Not here.

I have a friend with a 87 Supra TT. JDM 1J Twin Turbo, well it was twin and he decided to go with a te-26 turbo. basically a small factory sized Toyota Turbo. stillhas quick spool like the twins but more top end. and it definetly cleaned things up in his engine bay.

He basically wanted a quick DD weekend fun car. his name on here is Redbrick.
