Unless he posesses a dynopack dyno or is intending to remove the engine and run it on an engine dyno I'd be a bit suspicious. (though if he does have an axle style dyno then they are the BEST and MOST ACCURATE type of chassis dyno you can get) The only way to test the power of an engine in the car is by roller style units, dynopack style axle units or a g-tech meter. As for replacing the bottom end when he does the cams-the only reason to do that is if it's going to have the crap revved out of it. Otherwise, if the revs are only marginally more the rise in cylinder pressures will not cause the engine to blow. (or of course if it's alredy done 350 000 km)
Toyota engine are not that fragile (nor are most other engines).

Have your car dynoed on a roller unit before and after for comparison, and have him clarify if the 40 increase is supposed to be at the flywheel or wheels. Sounds like a big claim with no difference in the mechanics of the motor except for the TB. I'd be a but dubious about the ability of the TB mod on it's own to supply the required extra air to make that much more power. Remember, the unichip and injectors only allow the air/fuel/ignition maps to be optimised and allow the motor to get closer to it's maximum theoretical power output-they do not on their own add ANY power at all.

Get us a name and we'll be able to find out if he has credentials over here.

As for the 4wd option-just buy a 4wd celica to start with-it won't be worth the hassle or cost of doing it.
