sup guys.. i just got the new issue of turbo and i was reading the submitted letters ppl write and 2 concerned the celica.. one of the letters mentioned this site.. which was cool.. anyone submit a letter??.. anyways.. just thought it was interesting..
heres the 1st letter...
Dear Turbo,
I want to see more stuff on the Toyota Celica, and a breakdown of aftermarket parts. The aftermarket has been slow on development for a lot of Celica products, but the support is there, just check out www.newcelica.org or www.nextcelica.net or team unison.com. We have plenty of parts made for our car but development of turbos has been slow. Maybe if u do an article in your magazine it will help the aftermarket pick up, but i admit, Celica parts are all i wanted to see.

XS engineering developed a turbo kit for the Celica. I am not sure if it is in production. Call them at (714)992-4133. We are hoping to get a long-term Celica soon and we then be hot on the trail of Celica power parts. >> EG
heres the 2nd letter...
Dear Turbo:
I bought my Celica in January of 2001 and am still having a hard time finding aftermarket parts that really help the power of this car. I'm interested in a turbo kit for it but I can't find one. I've seen one in your magazine some months back when you had your forced induction showcase with all the dyno tests and really want the kit I saw, but I forgot who made it. If I were to get a turbo kit, how much power will the stock drivetrain handle and is there aftermarket support for drivetrain parts, if needed?
there was some other part to that note but it was about a civic and didnt have anything to do with our car...
The company that makes the Celica turbo kit is XS Engineering in Fullerton, Calif. The kit is only made for the GT-S model and not the GT, so if you own a GT you're out of luck. The kit was featured in the August 2000 and October 2001 issues of Turbo magazine. The car baselined at 157.1 hp to the wheels in stock form and with the addition of the XS Engineering turbo kit it jumped to 251.2 hp to the wheels, an increase of 94.1 hp. XS Engineering didn't need to modify the stock drivetrain to handle the increased power being produced from the turbo kit.
