If you are going to start tinkering with your boost levels this is what you need to do:
Purchase the following:
An accurate boost gauge.
Electronic boost controller
Fuel Pressure regulator
Air Fuel Ratio gauge
Wide band O2 sensor
Have these parts PROFESSIONALLY installed and pay the money to get it tuned.
If you just get a boost controller put on and give it a crank your fuel will lean out and your engine will detonate.
Also it might not be a bad idea to get a fuel controller from Apexi. That will cost you though. So will the O2 sensor. You can get away without one, but you should just leave the boost alone after its tuned.
130hp for the normally aspirated engine (non turbo) and 200hp for the turbo engine.
The 3SGTE motor is completely different from the 4AGE or 3A motor, simple answer is no.
On the second generation MR2 and MR2 Turbo (1991 through 1995 USA, and 1991 through 1999 for the rest of the world), it is on the FRONT side of the engine, between the engine and the rear firewall of the cabin area. It is the right side of the car.
its located above the passenger fuse box next to the clutch the top relay above the 3 other relays.
Size Group 35, available at most major autoparts stores and WalMart, etc
yes if its not the turbo ver
The second gen mr2 turbo came with a single turbo, the later engines where reffered to as having twin entry. Simply put, this means two lines of air travle into a single turbo, to reduce air stall at low speeds

Depends on what MK MR2 you have but the MK3 (2000 onwards) I believe is Chilli red. The '91 and '92 Mk II MR2's were Super Red. I don't recall the name of the paint they used for '93+ Actually, my 1991 MKII Turbo is called Crimson Red. It is slightly darker than Super Red which I believe started in 1992.
Why would you want to put one of the crappiest engines in a mr2 that v6 is only rated to about 190 hp for a v6 ?? Thats hella slow while the 3sgte, the turbo mr2 motor pushes about 220 stock and its a 2.0 liter !! 4 cylinder ! Swap that instead and its a plug and play swap
you have to tap into your intake manifold and install the pressure line there. you can only put it on the intake manifold. then run your line through the firewall. make sure there is no way that it can become cut or kinked. then mount your gauge and hook up the line and the power can come from any 12 volt source.
