97 SC300 Build Plan Question
Hey, I just got a 97sc and have plans to turbo it, but just want to make sure im not forgetting anything/ make sure my plan is reasonable before I start buying things.
I want to start with the boost logic stage 1 na-t kit and a hks exhaust I found and tune it to about 300-320hp. Will I be able to drive fine for a while, with this and no other mods?
Then, when I get to it, I want to upgrade the auto transmission, differential, and arp studs and a thicker headgasket, and bigger injectors. Essentialy making the stage 2 kit, making around 450hp.
Does this sound like it is an okay plan? And how well should I expect my engine to hold up with 150k.
Sry if my questions seem a bit novice, im just getting into the car game and just want to get as much info as possible.
Thanks for any help and suggestions.

My teacher boosted a stock dodge neon engine *420gay* to around 10 psi with a stock compression of like 9.6-8:1. Im sure your 2jz will be fine running 5-7 to make close to your hp goal. Id be mighty happy with 5 psi.
That neon had like 150k+ to.
If you are concerned do a compression test, see if all the cyls are good.
