Wouldn't a 1G-GTE be better than the GZE ?
It produces about ~30kw more, and lag isn't really an issue because of the small twin turbos.
Just a thought.

Apparently (I'm yet to drive one...including mine  ), the small turbos on the 1GGTE don't quite mean it comes on boost early...

Well, haven being a passenger in Nark's Celica with his old (and apparently terribly running) 1G-GTE, it was an absolute monster.
That's my only experience in a 1G-GTE car so far.

You won't get a 1G-GTE in for $2.3k so forget about it.
I'd save up for it though, don't waste your effort on the 1G-GEU.
The 1G-GTE has more torque than a 1G-GZE. And from what I've heard, there's bugger all difference in lag times between them. The 1G-GTE pulls harder though, and for longer.
