Here's the story behind it It's a long read, but gets funny as the story progresses. The basic background... Some kid that owned a Mustang raced some kid that owned a Supra for money. The Mustang kid won and had video of it at his house. The Supra owner and the Mustang Owner got into an argument on the forums here about the race. A few days later the Mustang owner was racing a car but lost control, hit a rock, and flipped over injuring the Mustang owner in the process. The post I linked to above is the Supra owner coming to tell us the bad news.

edited to fix: correction about, it was An Eclipse owner, not a Supra owner. my bad.

Shouldn't you already know?

And here you seem even more confused. You are still saying you are "about" to twin turbo your car, but you seem to have little to no idea what you need.

ummmm what's that word? Oh yeah, owned. Samseed the MF Detective ftmfw! lol

My basic thoughts:

Turbo, Nitrous, full exhaust, supporting fuel mods... and I'm not sure what else. But the biggest question. Do I get a 5.0 or do I venture forward into a 2001+ 4.6?

Yeah, I would be thinking turbo as well. Just remember, the 5.0's are sooooo much easier to work on.
