turbo question - 2000 celica GT

[ostentatious]

I've got a 2000 celica GT, 5 speed manual and I'm looking to put a stage 1 turbo kit in it from c2power.com, and i've got a few questions;

1. Any of you ever heard of these folks?
2. Is a 95,000 mile engine capable of handling a turbo (with all the essentials for the engine to run it, of course) ?
3. If the engine is capable of running it, what are some extras I can use to monitor my car / turbos performance on the road?

It's just a stage 1, these guys from c2power say that the 2000 GT can handle it, and they even have vids proving it. I'm just worried about my engine.

ANY feedback would be fine.


thanks.

Already heard about those guys like you say Actually C2 is using the turbo at about 6 PSI and it's set to be a safe boost but for sure you are adding more stress on the internal parts of your engine so expect it to be more damagable to your engine than whitout your turbo to get more control and to really get to know your engine well actually everything, almost comes whit the kit i would include A boost gauge, oil pressure gauge, fuel pressure regulator and a really good tunning and installation by somebody who knows turbo's and that's it that's a great kit really affordable and reliable

good luck !

take a look on the mods for 7 gen celica's at www.newcelica.org

Not to be a party pooper but I have not seen one 1zz-fe turbo that is a direct bolt-on. Many claim that they are but will disappoint. I'm not sure wheter or not that this kit is "the one." But if it is, then hallelujah!
Just a friendly warning.

a couple people on newcelica.org have turboed thiers...and most of them are running the C2...i would do a search on that site, it has a lot of info on the 7th gens. but from what i hear, the GT is a lot turbo friendly than the GTS.
