I think that i need to buy new turbo and upgrade ECU.

Or keep it stock, and buy 960 or 760, and fitt the T6 engine in there..Lets see..

Buy a Toyota Supra Twin Turbo and contact Greddy or HKS for upgrade parts. You will be way ahead on horsepower, money, and labor.

Or for less money than anything discussed here, get a Volvo 740 and pop in a Ford 302 350hp engine... http://www.volvord.com/

Cheap + neck-straining power + simplicity.

(Don't know if large V8s are allowed on roads in Finland for import/emissions reasons.)

[edit: corrected engine displacement/hp and clarified Finland-V8 sentence]

2JZ-GTE for... the ... win...

They sound so good with a 74mm single turbo and 4" Boost Logic exhauast that it hurts to think about it!

Actually i dont wanna buy any car. I want to build this one.
I looked at T6 volvos from sweden, and they cost about 3500$.
They are quite cheap around here.

I've owned a 740, and i liked it. But its too old and too common.
and i'm not allowed to swap any V8 engines in 740.

And something about supras.. Not my thing.. I like Aristo more. Actually i thought to buy one, but i like volvos more..

and my knowledge about volvos is quite much.. For 22 years i havent known nothing but volvo.. and im 26.. My dad has owned a volvo since 1975, or something like that. But way before me. And he has a job in a garage, and they repair volvo..

EDIT: some car that i thought to buy...

That first costs 30000SEK. =2790€, =3757$..

I would stick with the volvo. I love supras but I run the same 13.6 1/4 mile time as a 93-98 twin turbo supra and I have only spent about $4,500 including the cost of the car. a supra would cost $15K and up. Turbo Volvos are one of the best bang for the buck that you can get.
