matt 84 - slave cylinder we covered already, a xA60 series one from Repco for $33 odd dollars. I'm pretty sure the release fork is common to this vintage (W series), as is the throw-out bearing to suit whatever clutch you are running.

HyDrA - W55 ratio's are a bit strange I have found, maybe they better suit an NA car with its different power delivery compared to a turbo motor. I'm not sure, but a 55 is the last box I want to run behind a G series motor. I have a 57 as its 5th gear is not as overdriven as the one in the 58 box. 0.85 opposed to 0.75. You don't drop into such a great hole once you pull 5th, but a W58 would be better for a high horsepower high revving turbo motor.

Mookie - A Supra diff will cope fine *provided* you are not God's gift to drifting, burnout's, dough-nuts, circle work etc - like any diff in any car. F series (Supra/RA65 7.5 inch) are good strong units. The final drive ratio you want in an LSD might be harder to find, but they are out there. See a clutch specialist for the heavy duty unit you need. They will find / make the right unit to match your hardware and your driving style. Its worth the $400 to $500 you will spend on this - trust me you will hate dropping (and refitting) the gearbox and tail shaft once you start breaking a few std clutch's. Again - the W55 will hold up under pretty serious driving - don't be too silly about it for too long.....
