^ You've owned a Supra so you know that they have transmission problems?
Like Notorious said... it takes a $5000 engine swap or a $5000 turbo setup to go thirteens on a Honda, it takes like $1000 in mods on the Supra to go high thirteens (even quicker)

I think he meant general's VW, but you are correct.

if its a good setup it should make 215whp or more, but if its average it`l make 200whp any less and thats really poor considering people get 200whp with much smaller turbos. that turbo is substantial, even with that badly flowing head @15psi your getting some decent power.
gearing is going to suck tho. 020 gears are way too short, you`ll be mid 4th comming down the track i believe, anywhere around 100mph. That extra shift is gonna cost you the difference between a 14 and 13 IMO. Thats assuming you can hook it. considering a 2.1 sixty or so..
well anyway thats from what ive seen and heard i mean it might come right out of the box and shock everyone with 230whp and a low 13, or a total dissapointment.
no pressure lol
