The 3rd gen turbo supra had 232hp and 250ft/lbs of torque in stock form and the N/A cars had 200hp and 200ft/lbs of torque. The bad thing about those cars is that they were the heaviest of the 4 gens of supras weighing 3600+. The stock CT26 turbo is basically maxed out at about 14-16psi(stock boost is 7psi) and depending on the other mods made to the car, 16psi can get around 330whp. At that point, the next thing to do is to get a larger compressor housing and go from there....also the stock exhaust housing is on the small side and creates a lot of heat at that boost level(trade off for fast spooling). The next step is to upgrade to the t04e compressor housing with the stock exhaust and run the same psi and get about 370whp. Anything past that and you would need a full T04e turbo.
