hehe thanks for the support guys. When I made some calls the blower was already sold. The good news is i just picked up a VVTi 1uz (98-2000) with trans, harness and ECU for a good price and plan to keep it N/A.
I figure with a dual 2.25", some rush headers and a true CAI I can manage 320BHP, or 255whp... lots more fun compared to the measily 180rwhp from the 1st gen.
The scary part is that David tells me that If I run a set of his stage II cams in the future with the parts listed above, 380bhp or 300whp is doable. Without the extra front hanging weight of a SC/turbo and all it's accessories I can focus on this ride more from a handling standpoint.
