1) Make your own downpipe.
2) Try searching for information. There's only a million posts on where to get your feed and return lines from.
3) Unless your trying to run the times I'm trying to run you don't NEED any MSD.

A T61 is a good turbo............................................................for a 600hp Supra.

i wasnt wondering were to buy the lines i wanted to know were they connect to on the motor cus i have no clue, and the t61 isnt for a 600 hp supra just depends on how much boost you set it to im not turning it all the way up til the motor can handle the complete power no point in buying a small turbo now and then buying a bigger one later waist of money....

I know that you were asking where to put them....SEARCH. That's the final answer I'm giving you.


Oh and a T61 is GIANT...good luck spoolin' at a decent RPM.

Turbo's aren't just about PSI, its CFM. The T61 was never designed to flow low PSI, so if you are using it to push under 12 PSI, you are wasting your money. I bet a correctly sized T3/T4 would out flow the T61 at lower PSI. Not to mention the T61 is way out of its efficiency range on our engines (stock). Like Hypsy said, I'd be surprised if you saw boost at any less than 5000 RPM, and on a turbo car, 6500 comes mighty quick.

I'd sell the T61 to some honda guys and go with something that will actually make power on your engine.

Using a turbo way too big for your needs is just as pointless as using a turbo way too small for your needs. A turbo of that size probably won't spool until just before redline resulting a unusable power band. Just like using a turbo that is too small, it will make instant power but peak long before redline. There are plenty of turbos out there that can supply fast spool for low end power and flow enough air on the top end to make well over 300whp.

I have a couple questions, mainly because nobody asked yet, and frankly, they're logical questions that need to be asked:

How much power are you trying to make?

What KIND of power do you want? By that I mean are you looking for straightline accelleration, or do you want a good low and mid range for asutocross?

Now, given you bought a T61, I'm guessing you want to have straight-line power fo drag racing. Okay, fine. Do you plan to drive the car around town every day?

Let's pretend that's the case. A daily driven quarter-mile track slut. So for this you need good low and mid range, and a strong top-end. Most will say a T3/T4 hybrid, or maybe something along the lines of a T3 Super 60 is what you want to look for. And I'd agree. Or if you're a bit freaky-deaky, you can try to get your hands on a good used Mitsubishi 20G from Japan. That one would be a bit more laggy than the typical T3 you see guys around here use, but it'll come into boost around 2500RPM with the right sized charge pipes and exhaust (3" from the O2 housing back would be best) and support plenty of power. Take a look at Hypsy's mod list. He himself uses a vresion of the 20G and he's laying down impressive numbers. Of course you'll need the mods to support it. Again, his mod list is a really good reference.

im looking to have it for most of the time atthe track some looks but i pretty much sold my body kit rims wing all my stuff to make it look back stock for now to start upgradeing my engine i bought a second vehicle to drive around instead of driving the cavy... i have the motor already yanked out of the cavy and taken completly apart, but my problem is i cant find internals for it like low compression pistons or stronger rods for the 2.2 ecotec.. im looking to push 350 to 450 hp i wanna run in low mid 12s low 13s, what would you suggest i go with internals and externals then all home made i done wanna buy kit from and shop i wanna do it all piece by piece i have a second car so i have the time to re do the hole motor but what would you suggest i use internaly and were can i find it???
