Again, what are you asking here? What are trying to do? You trying to use the stock Supra turbos for a custom built kit? Is this going on a Maxima?

If that's the factory Supra turbo, then they run 2 of them it's tiny. I've seen them. On a Civic, it would work. On a Maxima, no way.

Danny, I'd take Dixit's advice and be more specific. These questions are getting you nowhere and frustrating the very people who can actually help you with a turbo.

it will work for low psi. but could still choke your engine at high rpms

Well, depending on what kit you buy wether its a t3 / t4 / t25 etc. flange your not going to be able to bolt the CT-26 on to it. And if you get a flange just for the CT-26 your not going to be able to change it out with many other turbos. It's kind of a one flange, one turbo sort of thing.

Whats wrong with some one going with a small turbo? Everyone here seems to be wanting big turbos and produce huge amounts of HP. If I were to ever turbo the maxima, which I dont will ever happen, rather get me a V8. It be start with a small turbo, and play around with it. Thats just my oppinion.

The issue is not running a smaller turbo. The issue is running it effieciently. Also if you run too small of a turbo like these stock turbos off a supra (which really is running on 3cylinders) you are going to choke up with major backpressure pushing it through 6cylinders. Might be fine till about 3000rpm, then its all downhill.
