turbo? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #54393 2 posts Started by captainpyro1
ok so a while back i found this forum, and drooled a lot at the ridiculous turbo jobs some of you guys have done. after learning how i would go about doing it.... i mentioned that i have about 175xxx miles on my 95 st.....and someone just said screw it.... it doesn't burn any oil, shifts wonderfully, and aside from a banged fender that the ass before me did, the frame, and body is wonderful. is it worth turbo-ing? im also looking to manual-ize it.... but finding a 5thgen engine and tranny is taking some time, be it as there are like 12 pre 7th gen celicas in nh, and 5 in maine (or at least it seems that way)

so is it worth it, and if not what would i need to replace to make the engine worth turbo-ing... yeah i know its a bit of work, but hey, i love this beast....
cough cough sticky...do a compression check first
