I know you're new to the Toyota thing, but there's only one "T" in GTE
Driftmotion.com is a decent supplier, has a decent reputation. And, while they may not answer the phone when you call them, they WILL call you back. The guys that run it seem pretty knowledgeable about their parts.

Amen bradder! I hate it when people use Nissan nomenclature in Toyota engine codes. For Nissan a "T" is single turbo, "TT" is twin turbo. For Toyota, whether its twin or single turbo only one "T" is used.

Oops, I really didn't know that. I will remember that for now on. I"m used to seeing VG30DE"TT". And when you do a search on ebay for 2JZGTTE, it comes up as well referencing the Supra Twin Turbo motors.. oh well!

tbh, I am pretty sure I have called it a "gtte," at least once (I come from Nissan, as well. Still drive my 91 maxima daily, despite having 272K on the clock. She'll be getting a vg33et swap done, either when she blows up, or hits 300k, whichever comes first.)
