intake would be a good idea if u don't have that and then problaye a 3 inch downpipe or 3 inch elbow is a good idea becuases there generally pretty cheap.
Cheapest + most HP gain = NOS.......... :bigthumb:
BUt then cost comes later when you need to refill the bottle every other day cause you use it soooo much... .... :rofl:

stop chokeing you poor 7m. 3" dp and catback. and get something that replaces the stock elbow, it's crazy how restrictive it is. and you can save a few $ on the intake by just getting a afm adapter and a cone filter.
Don't play the low money game... I don't feel like seeing another blown up 7M. You get what you pay for.
most hp for the least amount of money will end with a blown engine or a wrecked car or possibly both. dont cheap out on anything, and make sure the suspension and brakes are in good shape before adding alot of power. also, do all the maint to the engine before trying to dog on it. it is an old car that im sure has seen some abuse. make sure the hg has ben retourqed, make sure all the seals are good and that the timing belt is good etc.. otherwise youll be the next one post a sob story.
good intake, good full 3" turbo back exhaust, and a manual boost controller.
cross your fingers and hope that your headgasket is up to the task
replace all coolant hoses in the engine bay, and make sure all your intercooler pipes are good. check the 3k pipe to TB coupler, too. do a full oil/filter change, and flush out the coolant.

Check the $20 or less mod page and run an open downpipe. Boost as much as you can. Take out everything in the interior. Enjoy the rice boy mentality that nothing can touch you since you spent 200 bucks for mods on a factory turbo car.
To add: Then come here and piss and moan about how crap 7M's are when it shit's itself and buy a JDM 1JZ and wander around saying "Yo" a lot.......Disco Stu said:
save it and redo your hg and change your fluids, youll have the hp allot longer
or if you just dont give a damn k&n cone filter, becauseican dpw/ elbow, no cat back, and lexus afm and new injectors, if you still have money then rebuild it and dont screw this up.

well the engine is pretty fresh... it was originally a non-turbo and swapped in a turbo engine with 30-50k.. and my friend just did oil, tranny and rear end fluid change so thats all set...so im prolly thinkin im gonna go with a 3 inch turbo back
3" TURBO back is a good start! The best downpipe is the BIC (becauseican) divorced downpipe. Check him out in the vendor section. Great product, quality and performance. Best money to HP product IMO. Make sure you do something about your headgasket before too long. New or JDM doesn't really matter if its only torqued down to 56ft/lbs...

30-50k mile of what??
racing?
used is used and the condition of the engine is unknown. Thereby modding the engine INSTEAD of MAINTAINING it...
fucking stupid!
yea, ill talk to the guy who works on my supra and see what thinks about headgaskets and shit.. thats prolly the best idea.. makin sure my engine can handle shit before i try it..

yep that is the way to do it. Because if you start moding and the engine can't handle it.. it will be short lived and you will be without a supra.
