Turbo 3tc Corolla no further information needed.

If your turbo setup weighs more than 50lbs, you're doing it wrong.

I'm biased. Skip both ideas and get an LT1 Camarobird.

So I can ditch my cast iron boost tubes?

Interestingly, it seems that this group, in general, is pretty split on this decision as well...

I've had two RWD Corollas and five Mustangs. A 5.0 is still in my driveway, and there's a parking spot in my heart for another AE86.

You're not going wrong either way, just pick up whichever finds you first.

That is one of the meanest looking cars I've seen in a while. Suddenly the rest of the thread seems unimportant....

If you thought that was mean looking sitting in the driveway, check this out with smokin' tires on the autocross course. Thanks guys - makes the all of the work worthwhile . . . . .

Sadly, it's very true though. Hopefully the new engine can eek out 20mpg highway with the help of Megasquirt.
