First off, you're looking at some $$$ for any heavy mods to your car. You could get a universal turbo kit or have someone make you a turbo. Either way you're looking at some major $$$ and/or time to get one, not to mention the price of the necessary intercooler. But even before a turbo can help you, you're gonna need a high flow intake and exhaust system. Look at something like a K&N conical filter and replace the air box. You would need to get a header for high flow exhaust. These would also be a custom job. Next you would need to either remove the catalytic converter or have it cored (that is if the header doesn't replace it altogether). You might also think about getting a slightly bigger size of exhaust pipes. Say from a 2.25" to a 2.5". But even better if possible to do, you could do a dual exhaust where the pipes will actually drop in size (say from 2.25" to 2.0") which will still provide a lot of flow but without diminishing backpressure. These would also be custom. You would also need high flow exhaust (say from Flowmaster). Next, look toward getting some larger diameter, wider width rims. These will give you some better traction (but mostly beneficial in street racing). These large wheels will require Z rated tires. Also think about lowering it if you're looking to street race (also helping the handling). You might also talk to Dinan about there chip, which could concievably help your performance but some say with other mods it dimishing the benefits. But lets face it, a legend would never stand up to a Supra on the strip.<br><br>Note: Maybe a nitrous system could put you over the supra
