| hmm so if this motor has been altered by trd, and is turbod stock, then its probably much friendlier to boost no? better oiling capabilities, maybe no more offset crank etc. |

What I have said is that if it is moderate boost/HP (let's say 130-150whp), you're still on safe ground (that's relative off course : p ), you don't have to change anything. TRD didn't.
If you go higher (let's say 180+ WHP be prepared to start breaking stuff)
I don't know specifically about the cranks offset, if I find more info on it I'll share with you guys.
If you're planing on boosting your daily driver I would shoot for 140whp with the option of pushing 2-4 more psi with high octane ( a bit of Torco Accelerator maybe ) every now and then. I would say that's a nice safe* setup.
If you want to go for insane should-not-be-on an-echo-it-would-be-cheaper-to-get-another-car HP a lot of people are doing that too (I know I would love to :P )
Again.. the word "safe" is quite relative when boosting a stock engine. :silly: |

all right, then can u show me any good kits that will do this, i am a welder, and can tig very well, so if there need to be any changes done to a kit i could do it easy. like someone said i should get a xB kit, but i don't know what one to get. |

that makes no sense, if your a/f ratio went down, that means it is running rich, and it would make less power and get fewer mpg. |
