As someone with experience in this, you will not come across compression problems any differently than the 1mz. It is still an MZ motor either way you look at it. As long as you the correct air/fuel ratio, you will be fine. Its not hard and putting a turbo on your car will NOT cost 5 or 6 or 8K.
Mine was done correctly and I only spent a total of $3100 after all was said and done. That also included an HKS T51R turbo before it was all said and done.
You can do it right with about $2200.
ONE MORE IMPORTANT THING>> dont trust everyone who says anything on here. Most of these people have no clue as to what or how to do a turbo on any car much less their own car. All you ever hear is "i heard that you have to have this" or "so and so has this car and they did it like this so you have to". anyway, you know the drill.
Well, i would say hit me up, but i am retiring from the Solara. good luck
