@ss to buy a computer and pesters me to post up his queries!!!!! 
Here goes:- Is it straight forward (on a scale of 1-10 1 easy 10 hard) to install a mr2 turbo engine in to a non turbo car. Also can someone settle this argument for me, did toyota ever produce an mr2 twin turbo? (they didnt did they)

It's been done many times by MR2 owners with success, or your could take the lazy way out and pay to have someone to do it for you. blue2 wrote:did toyota ever produce an mr2 twin turbo?
Many people seem to get the 'Twin Entry Turbo' thing muddled up with 'Twin Turbo', though.Wasn't the TRD MR2 a 3l V6 Twin Turbo, or am I imagining things again

- If you fancy doing doing this for you, speak to Patrick at Rogue systems, they've got a lot of experience of doing this to UK NA cars.- Well, try PMing Andy Keeble (AndyK - I think) as he's done this to his car - he was at JAE last year having just installed it. He was putting together a deatiled How-to.- no. Its people mis-reading the "twin entry turbo lettering" - is a very neat design of Toyota's to ensure there's less Turbo lag on their CT-26/ CT-20 Turbos.

... FYI:/ manifold(hubs / axle's etc etc)- basically the whole of the rear of the car- 10 ? - depends on the ability of the mechanic and also if your donor is all from the same car - it helps to just drop the whole lot and bolt it straight into the prepared (previously) NA car.- rogue charge £1000 +VAT for the labour on doing all the work - just so you know ball park figures. (I should know 
) 
TRD2000 has the 3sgte with 500bhp on tap i think. toyota have NOT made a 2 litre TT, but have done a 2.5 TT and a 3 TT.senie wrote:i believe the TRD MR2's could have a range of engines or a tuned 3sgte.

and same for the clutch.. bigger and uprated. - bit of a shame as when i had my NA dissmantled I had a Helex Cerematalic Paddle Clutch on it... Oh well the SPEC Stage3 F-disc i have now is supposed to be good for over 500 horses £5k getting there tho ! - I'm what is known as a Chequebook Tuner - according to one of my mates.. 
.. I've had an MR2 for over 8 years so I've earned my stripes
