Gday everyone.
Im looking into buying a TT Soarer, But need some basic information that I am having trouble trying to find. Ive owned a Beautiful Celsior for a while now and intend on hanging on to it aswell but just want some thing with more power.
1: What would you consider too many km's on the clock if the engine is to be intended for more boost (around 14psi) I understand there are alot of varibles that can be taken into account. Just a rough figure would give me a guide line.
2: Do all TT soarers have LSD?
3: What sort of pressure and variance should be in the cylinders on a heathly motor when performing a pressure test?
4: I have been researching intercooler kits and some places seem to say that a kit that fits a jzz30 will also fit a jza80 (4th gen supra), Is this correct?
5: Where can I get dump pipes from? any links would be great.
Thanks for all the help. Please be nice as I am new to turbo soarers.

1. There is no figure mate. The 1JZ are a strong engine straight out of the factory and provided it has been well serviced will easily take 14psi. I heave heard of some 1JZ doing 300,000km+. Don't look at km's as a sign of engine health when buying these cars, look for signs of maintenance and/or neglect.
2. No, LSD was only an option. Most did not have this option either.
3. No idea
4. Yes, however some kits may require small modification to fit the JZZ30. You only need two extra bits of silicone. Search the forum for Just Jap, their kits have/had this issue. The Greedy kits fit 100%.
5. Lew or the ones on Ebay which supposebly needed to be modded to fit.
