the basics of my mk iii supra: (incl. problems)
engine - 
runs, but burns a qt every 300 mi
turbo
5 speed - no problems 
on trans side
targa - leak on driver side
painted in 99 or 00 
- still good but rear bumper needs a touch up
shaved door handles/> 18'' chrome albas
meineke exhaust

i think thats it. />if l wanna rebuild it has to start with an engine- no brainer, but what? 
i'm fine with STOCK turbo engines, but obviously the better the mod 
options on each engine - the more appealing that option is. l say better 
as there are of course economic aspects. l do not race but of course we 
all want a faster car - l do not need to spend 15gs to make a 12 sec 
car.but say if l invested an extra 5gs over stock and can cut a sec off l 
might take a look into it. by the way i'm just spitting numbers, i've 
never priced engines before, nor have l ever dyno-ed a car. i'm pretty 
sure though a stock 7mgte turbo probly does around a 7 sec 0-60 around a 
15 sec 1/4 mi.
so with that - what should l do? single turbo / twin 
turbo? can l maybe upgrade turbo on top of a rebuilt? OR if you know 
someone who maybe done the whole shebang twin turbo, injectors, afm, 
exhaust... and it seemed like it was worth the cost.
any 
opinions?

OOOOORRRR, should l just buy another one already 
built
or finally l see 04 gtos in a reasonable price range $14,000

thanks
