I have a 60-1 on my MkIV, but I am not familiar with moding a CT26 into a 60-1. I love the turbo though, very responsive; mine is the Powerhouse Racing "PHR1" version of the 60-1.

i made my research about them and so far so good but i am kinda "iffy" about this turbo.. i mean the thing looks beautifull and its extremely well built but i wanna see if the ct26 housing would handle it

any of the big trim wheels mated to a CT-26 shaft are iffy IMO. They have an undeniably higher incidence of failure than lesser modded models, but there is always room to argue that it was user error or too much boost etc. IMO, the shafts are too small for the really big wheels.

What's there to know? The 60-1 upgrade is a well known upgrade in the Supra circles.
