from what I have seen the turbo models have the R-154 and the n/a models have the W58. Is this correct. If so my ? is will the W58 break if I add boost?

I ran a w58 with my NA-T supra at 12 PSI on a stock CT around 300 HP and it was fine. I just added a larger turbo and it should last me a while. Just dont beat the hell out of it and youll be alright. DR Jonez had 400+ on his W58 for 6 months of abuse before it blew up.

Cool. Yea I'm not planning on abuse I'm just lookin to get maybe 300-350rwhp.
I got a kid on the way I cant go to crazy right now.
Another thing someone told me that the n/a rear ends would snap after a week of boost. I'm for sure if that ones true though.

Whoever said that to you, you should fire them as a friend, foe, partner or whatever....
NA rear ends are exactly the same as the turbo rear ends, other then gearing and LSD options.

Yup im planning to be 350++ this summer and well see how the stock tranny does. I was 300+ for a summer with the STOCK NA clutch, and beat the shit outta the car and the clutch held like a champ...
