Well guys, Mike and I are dropping out his 2nd gen 3s-gte for some modifications. Yesterday he ordered new intercooler, ACT clutch, boost controler, fuel controler, throtal cable (old one was fraying), colder plugs, and a down pipe for $2300 shipped from horsepowerfreaks.com. we need to set some $$ aside to fix his transmission which grinds whenever he shifts into 3rd and wont go into 4th. Should we think about getting a tranny re-build kit, taking it to a shop, or buy a new one? Anyways, if you guys want some pics, i can upload them.

Yeah, post some pics, should be an interesting operation. You guys wouldn't happen to know who might have a 2nd gen turbo for sale around tacoma area would ya?

You should look into getting a 93+ LSD tranny. And I hear those ACT Clutches aren't all that great... hope you guys did your research

The SPEC clutches are awesome ... and if you go with an LSD tranny you are going to need new inner stubs for the axles.
