Hard to talk about your details when you haven't shared any...

Plan on some sort of auxiliary injection( if using pump gas), a standalone and not as much ignition advance.

The normal t3/t4 Turbo? That is not a type of Turbo, its just a generic name that fan boys have put on turbos they know nothing about. For a proper setup don't even waste your money on a stock ecu or an rtek, just go straight to a standalone. Same with the fuel pump, stock Tii pump isn't good for much more than stock.

My best advice is do some more research before posting stuff like this up.

Interested in why you chose a 6 port engine as well? Unless you are running AI or higher than 93 octane, you will run into issues with higher boost levels. With this, you will be limited to a large frame turbo to create good power. This of course will spool slow....

As others have said, what are your power & cost goals?

For your project, I would refer you to Aaron's site....

well iv done a good amount of research through aarons site, his youtube videos, and his threads on the forum. iv also been sucking up all the research that i can find. and for those who are more interested in criticisms this isnt my first rx build, car build, nore turbo build. i do understand that my post and some of the things that iv said are not the most informative, so i apologise. but i am a mechanic and i do have 4 generations (including myself) of building and racing cars and motorcycles. also just to more clearly state my intintions of this thread, i am still pretty open to ideas. i am looking for your guys input on the subject to help me with ideas and planning to help with this TIINA project. im just wanting to throw ideas back and forth and get into some detailed and loose talk to mold this build together. but im planning on 400~425hp on high test pump gas and 600~700hp with water meth. i dont know precise turbo to use and the TII parts are just put in for variance if they would do me any good. the CT26 turbo that i have is left over from supra and i have the factory HT18 turbo as well. i know they would not get me to my goal, but they would serve as a good start and be fun untill i get a nice precision or turbonetics or watever would be best suited and affordable for my needs. im also using the 6 port for compression and availability, i have 2 6 ports laying around, the one im planning to use had original 88,000miles before rebuild and approx 5miles after and has been street ported at time of rebuild.
