Dont mention meth/water. Run off the wastegate at 7 psi. My friend which I helped install (94 Toyota Supra NA) had tranny problems and has spent over 6grand WAAAYYYY more than he expected. He was the same guy like you thinking, oh well its cheaper to boost the NA, there are so many small issues you have no idea how much it is going to cost you.
Ryan you know im behind you being boosted, in fact I like the idea your doing 7 psi, but dont be stupid and dont be greedy.
Compression is changed via a headgasket, which is needed anyway on that vehicle to pretty much run any psi. Ryan, youll get away with 7 psi, and I know you know that, but you will be changing the headgasket down the road, keep it conservative and you may luck out and run 30-50k miles never needing a headgasket.
DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT RUN METH. Your vehicle has headgasket problems at 10 psi, do not think meth is your "fix" to allow you to run more. First is the problem of pump failure, yes fixed by a safety valve that pops down boost when line pressure falls below 150psi. However, this is like nitrous, done right, it can be a huge advantage, done carelessly and youll end up like every other dsmer on the side of the road with their overboosting and overeagerness.
A good kit with safety valves, large tanks, and activations systems, with (very important) a GOOD pump, good jets, can be had for around 400-500. However, controlling this system effectively (versus running just the boost pressure source), as he LITERALLY does not have engine management.
Make it simple, TRUST ME, I work on my vehicle myself, have done all the upgrades myself to my turbocharged vehicle. You will have enough on your hands with the turbo.
Use that turbo kit, get an intercooler, and most of all, get an S-AFC, wideband, boost, and a water temperature gauge. Dont worry about oil pressure, its one of those gauges, where its too little too late. The professionals mainly log those gauges as they no longer use the stock gauges and also to figure out what happened....after the fact.
