    Why? You just said you drive with the boost controller off, so I'm assuming you're running less than 10lbs daily. That thing would be a pig with a huge single running off the wastegate.

    I'm not trying to knock you, seriously, and I hope you find and fix the problem with your car... but what is the point of building a 600+whp car if you don't drive it??!! If you're not comfortable with a fast car - why are you building one?!! You're better off sticking with the stock twins and keeping it at a moderate 400whp or so, there's nothing to be ashamed about that.

    Build the car for what you want, not what everyone expects. If you're building a supra with big numbers but you run with the boost controller off on the streets, it's for some other reason than you honestly want a car with high horsepower.

    If you're comfortable with 400whp, then keep the car at 400whp and save a shitload of money. Plus you have a lot more drivability with the stock twins than you would with a huge single that will hardly spool if you have the b/c off.

    Just my

    You have to go in order here....you can't just slap a big turbo on and drive the car. 1st fix your car so that it runs right as it sits now. Then once you get that taken care you'll need supporting mods for the bigger turbo. Which will include bigger injectors, but in order to run bigger injectors (correctly) you will need a way to tune the car (s-afc or any other tuning device). Btw way, I gave you my compression gauge when you bought the car....you could have tested it before buying it.
    As far as the 15.1, I also think it has nothing ot do with the car but rather with your driving. You ARE making 340whp, reguarless of being tuned or untuned and reguarless of your compression. If a stock supra with less power than you runs 14's, you should be going faster because you DO HAVE more power. That's not to say that you wouldn't have more power (and therefore still faster times at the track) if you fixed your car, but as it sits you should be running faster than a 15 with 340hp.
