I think it's people who are not mechanically minded that will die in a car like this. So many young guys over here with v8 and turbos that don't know a thing about them. I know my cressida bak to front I have done everything to it including my tune. And I wired the thing myself.

Point is young people won't die in these it will be people who don't know about cars and how they work...
I think he was making a generalization. Typically young drivers are inexperienced. That's not to say ALL young drivers don't know what they're doing behind the wheel. Frankly, I'm shocked that we've already seen threads about wrecked ones. I find it nearly impossible to get the car upset in the rain with TC off (Without trying like hell to do so). I don't think all young drivers are inherently bad, but the wrecks so far have not been from "old" guys. I think old on this forum means people over 30 like me. hahaha. Anyway, congrats on the swapped Cressida.

Back to topic, this turbo kit looks promising. 4psi is probably all it really needs. The boost is what is filling the low end torque valley of the stock dyno graph.
