So here's one potential setup I've come up with to put an MR2 Turbo into TTD:

Base class: TTE**
**: +14 points
Turbo: +5 points
2) DOT-approved R-compound tires with a UTQG treadwear rating of 50 to 130 (ex. Kumho V700, Michelin Pilot Sport
Cup, Nitto NT01, Pirelli PZero Corsa, Toyo R888, Yokahama A048, etc.— note: see exception below in 3)) +7
3) Non-OEM or modified/re-valved shocks/struts/dampers +3 (all others)(springs not included)
4) Non-OEM or modified coil springs, leaf springs/spacers/brackets, or torsion bars +2
16) Aftermarket or modified wastegate actuator, wastegate, or vacuum line(s) that
serve to control the wastegate actuator function or increase peak boost +3
18) Non-OEM or modified intercooler +4
27) Non-OEM or modified exhaust piping, resonators, or mufflers downstream from the OEM catalytic converter(s)
locations(s) +1 (for basic “catback” exhaust or performance mufflers only—otherwise, must use 26)

Total: +39 points, maxed out for TTD.
Target weight 2825 lbs for no weight reduction penalty.
Target power, whatever I can get from increased boost and an intercooler. With 2825 lb, I believe I'm limited to < 204 rwhp. I doubt I would hit that given the mods I have listed above, but I'll check it out on the dyno and see what I come up with.
Tires: 225f/245r
Free mods: whatever I can do that applies to my car

My thoughts were to mod the wastegate with maybe a helper spring, or mod the inside with a stiffer spring to force an increased boost pressure.
Suspension would probably be Konis with some springs, not sure which ones yet.
Everything else would be stock.

What do you guys think?
