So im more of a S/C guy, but a 7MGTE (MKIII Supra) fell in my lap. and it I’m pritty sure I can just bolt up stock turbo parts… but im on a tight budget, I was thinking of somthing like this  
[http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TD04-TURBO-CHARGER-7MGTE-MANIFOLD-50MM-WASTEGATE-COMBO\_W0QQitemZ8048592034QQcategoryZ33742QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TD04-TURBO-CHARGER-7MGTE-MANIFOLD-50MM-WASTEGATE-COMBO_W0QQitemZ8048592034QQcategoryZ33742QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

I have a Intercooler from a 1.8T Golf.  
Figured I’d need a BOV, Piping what else would I need or is it more truoble then its worth. Ive got about 1k to spend on this.

My friend and I are currently in the process of finishing his 7mgte build. We have a few spare parts if you need.

Unfortunatley I have no Idea what the NA to turbo swap would involve though.

bigger injectors, plumbing and engine management is where i would start, just my $0.02.

They also have a FAQ for the 1JZGTE-2JZGTE swap into the A70 Chassis if you decide not to go the NA-T route.

wow good reading the first 2 pages are Drama but the last 2 have some good stuff.

the recomend retorqing stock headbolts,  
putting in CPS, coilpack, Igniter in.  
Pulling an ECU for a Turbo 7mgte.  
Swapping to 440 injectors  
only running 6psi  
Exhaust manifold  
Wastegate  
Intercooler  
turbo (recomended stock 7mgte turbo)  
Plumbing  
Oil feed lines/ from oil cooler.  
they said i would feel boost from about 2.5k on with stock compression 9.5:1 it would feel torque, more like a V8.

said product would look like this:
