mid-life crisis?

TD05 is nice, which one exactly?
Turbo can be a better choice than constantly going for the NOS gas....NOS can get expensive as well....plus when it runs out, its out. hehehehe
7psi should be manageable, I wonder about the MAF as well, of course it has to sit in front of the turbo's inlet & blow-off should feed in here as well....or so the story goes with MAF's. Your success might cause me to go ahead with my turbo build up as well. I'm currently on the fence about it because I feel as though the mildly modded BEAMS I have is enough for my Celica's purposes.....plus I tend to run out of road at about 200km/h, not to mention the island surface itself runs out on me....getting to 200km/h quicker might be fun though....lotsa of Integras, RSX's, WRX's & select others already have issues keeping up with me sooooo....maybe I should go after the fast boys now?

with 7 to 8psi you should get a decent 50HP gain with the proper additional mods, and be reliable too, I think you might be able to get to that 240 HP at the wheels...
