work will be starting soon after the festivities. my supra 1G-GTE will be getting a nice shiny new intercooler with hard pipe set up, turbos will be rebuilt, bespoke 3" exhaust system, brake upgrade plus a few other little jobs that are waiting in the wings like silicon hoses, etc. hopefully i'll do the lifter re-shim job as well as it does sound a little "tappy". i'm hoping the freshen-up will get me around 260-275bhp? the 1G-GTE was rated at around 210bhp from toyotas showrooms in japan.

bit of an update. turbos completely disassembled now. gonna give the housings and the few parts that are retained a really good clean, have the shafts and impellers balanced then carefully lube it all up and reassemble.
