Default can I get any info on the reliability of this website?

I'm looking got do something with my 1uz and i recently heard about turbo'd 1uz's and i checked out Google and this popped up.. looks good, but how reliable is this website?

I don't think you'll want anything to do with that company after reading thru this thread! Finally, after having the Supra for sale for the longest, it seems that he found a buyer to buy it. Take your time and read thru this thread and you'll see the pics of the BS that this car was put together with. The car is now in good hands at Sound Performance getting a complete overhaul build from ground zero.

drive it to sound performance or make a custom kit together yourself.
I like the idea of a single turbo 1uz better, it would be that much easier to fabricate.

no doubt....


old placement pic is tight with a 3 row, but it will work. Excuse the mess, zipties, etc... never finished the engine bay before deciding to turbo it...

is that the mk3? props for taking on that project the engine bay is a bit tighter.
It should haul though once you get it going. Its def a project I may try in the future but probably not into the mk3, I need a snow crawler so im thinking a 4x4 yota or 4runner.
