Limits of stock turbo explained

[Dunckel]

Hey guys,
I just ran across this site and thought it was a good read. What do you think?? I don't know much about how the turbo works, so I don't know if these guys know what they are talking about. It sounded good to me. They are mainly talking about the ct26 on an MK2.

The CT-26 on the MR-2 is NOT the same turbo that is installed on the Supra.

We have no idea why Toyota engaged in this part naming silliness, but it is the way it is.

SC's right. Also remember that the same turbo will have vastly different efficiency ratings on a 3.0L I6 and whatever 2.xL 4 banger.

Interesting how much emphasis he has on the intercooler part of the equation.

MR2 = Silly car.

Seriously. :sarcasm:

We own one:

It's anything but silly. This thing would run circles around both a MKIII & a MKIV. It handles like a freakin' go cart.

Go Carts are silly

Correction:

2nd Gen MR2's are silly cars.

And that car needs a 2ZZ-GE :icon_razz
