Reason I ask is because a friend of mine works with this cocky dude who drives a C5 with catback exhaust, intake and gears and he killed me when I races him in my 3kgt vr4 (basically stock).. So what turbo would be good to buy for a supra which could pull on one with ease.. I want to see his mouth open once I pull :evil2: ...
Thanks Ken.

Well, I pulled on an auto C5 HARD from an 80kmh roll (~3.8k in 3rd)...14psi on a T78, no external tuning whatsoever (I know, I'm bad... :D ).

bolt on hp = bleh.(refer to honda tuning 101)
Bolt on hp+supporting mods+good tuning=greatness.
You could splurge and get a crazy turbo, or you could tune right, shed some lbs., and know you can reliably kick his ass.

A C5 can be taken with a really good and complete BPU set up and some good tuning.
They arent that fast IMO.

i may be an idiot on this one.. but v8's arnt the best for highway pulls... they start losing efficientcy (sp?) up top.. where as our cars with teh turbos really pull harder as you go up (depending on turbo bla bla bla) i may be wrong though who knows.

bahaha

ive killed two c5s on stock turbo.

I've scared one off, with a 5000rpm open dp/wastegate rip right next to his ear!:naughty: He originally wanted to run me, and dis-respected the Supra with a quick cut-off of my mojo roll!:icon_mad: That's when I decided to let him know his little yellow C-5 wasn't shit!!!:biglaugh:
