Well if you are aiming for 750rwhp then you need to have some deep pockets. And if you are aiming for 750rwhp you shouldnt even be looking at cheap knock-off parts anyways.

Head shot?

and to the OP please search but as was previously stated dont cheap on a 750whp build. spend the coin and get a quality turbo that can take the stresses you are going to be putting on it

First, i appologize for posting in the wrong section. 2nd. i don't necessarily want to buy that turbo but i wanted to know if the specs would be what i needed to make the power. Also, is anyone using a front mount intake plenum like the 2j or 1j? did you notice any difference power wise?

i have a ffim and there is a big difference compared to the stocker

Guy if you can't figure out if a bigger better FFIM can add some power then you don't need to be building a "750 hp supra" IMHO. I think you should start with an upgraded CT learn and go from there.

first of welcome to the forum!

There are some questions that need answering from you before we can say get this or that.

1. Will this be street driven/daily driver? 750 rwhp is a number. A very unuseable number at that especially on the street and ESPECIALLY if there is not traction control to control that.

2. GT45 can mean anything. GT is like the T series. Both created by Garrett (part of Honeywell). If it is a TRUE Garret GT45 Turbo (not a replica, fake etc), a GT45 is HUGE. I mean that the usual motor to use such a monstrosity are the 4.6L/5.0L Mustang engines and aboe. They are too big for our measily 3.0L engine unless you are planning to spin the motor to 10k rpm. Then this falls back to answer #1.

3. Turbo is only part of the ENTIRE equation. What are you going to control the engine with? Fueling, how are you addressing it? Is the chassis in shape to take that power (chassis flex)? How is the drive train?

There way to many questions to answer before we can even begin guiding you.
