dont know what to go with?
I have been thinking to either go with a stage 1 turbo kit form boost logic on my sc300 or either go with a 1jzgte with the six speed tranny 
what i really want is power, and what i am saying is if i go with a 1jzgte from a soarer i dont think i would be satisfied with 280 hp on a heavy weighted car, and i cant mod it up to much because of the ceramic turbine not being to handle the psi i want, so i probably would go with a upgraded turbo kit; replacing the ceramic turbos.
Here are my choices:
2jz-ge with thicker head gasket + turbo kit+( would be easier using the same ecu and engine harness, but that turbo kit costs alot.)
-or-
1jzgte with sixspeed tranny+turbo kit (would probably be harder using diffrent ecu, and probably costs as much as my first choice.)

I know TT RX-7s with the stock twins on(bout the same size as the 1jz turbos) that are pushing 600hp on the stock turbos runing 13psi. On the other hand theres alot more NA-t Supras runing around making mad power, you don't see alot of 1jzs doing that but they are perfectly capble of it.

I'm currently running a single turbo 1JZ. When people ask me if I love the 1JZ, of course I do, but the money that was involved was just not that justified. To tell you the truth, if i could do it all over again, I would have built my 2JZGE. A lot of power, minus the cost.
The stock 2JZGE is a perfect platform. Trust me.

Turboing the sc300 is not cheap at all either way in my humble opinion (IMHO) 
. I think something more important than "power level," is power band. You should ask yourself what kind of driveability you want (street? race track? drag?). I wanted more of a streetable car, so I went with a smaller turbo and I'm loving it....the overall goal was 300rwhp (currently at 260rwhp) and I'm still going to strive for that when I receive my wideband & 7.252psi wastegate spring for finer tuning.

If you do the 1JZGTE swap yourself, its very cheap. Trust me on that one.
A 1JZGTE on stock turbo's can not make no more then 380ish rwhp. They don't flow the air. You'll never make any more hp then that on the stock twins. Go single. Its cheap, easy, and you can get the parts anywhere to do it. Also alot more reliable.
