just bought turbo, manifold, and wastegate, couple more things to go, was wondering if anyone knows how much boost a stock 5efhe can handle? any thoughts or info would be much appreciated. anyone here from central florida?
and one more ?, anyone know anything about the toyota ct9 turbo?

I was going to do the same swap and I believe Paseo15psi (very knowledgable) told me the best to start with would be about 8lbs. But I would ask him directly first before trying it.

i am also going to boost but im using a 5efe. gonna run 5-6 psi max to avoid damage to pistons and exhaust mani. 10psi is safe for a quick burst from what i hear but no for daily use! i have all the 4efte turbo parts btw

I agree with el53, if its still going to be used for getting around and your weekend warrior I would go with 5-6psi for the boost and it won't damage anything.

will i have to up the fuel? bigger injectors? if so, what other injectors can i use?

N/A Supra MKIII injectors work great. HKS also sells a fuel rail for the 4efte that fits and isn't too expensive. Get a Walbro Supra fuel pump or even a stock Supra fuel pump. If running lower boost just get a new factory Paseo pump, it can flow more than it does now with no problem especially if you upgrade the power wire gauge. Get a FPR of some sort. Do some shopping in the ep82 section of PerfectRun or TaikaKaira. Hey el53, what all 4efte parts do you have? I need to retire my Paseo and do a rebuild. Maybe you have some parts I need?
