13BT for a 3SGTE? Hmm...we work closely with both vehicles and honestly, they are very similar. The power potential of the rx7 is higher though, in my opinion. The Mr2s handle very well and drive a lot like the FC rx7s. As for looks, the mr2 does have a nice body and it is a newer car then your T2. Its preference I guess. MR2 is just a beefed up celica, Rx7 is mazda's flagship. Of course this is all opinion...but I'd stick with the rx7.
BTW, insurance on the MR2 is much higher.

was the mr2 previously a turbo, from the factory? or is this an aftermarket job, that some one had done. if so, just get the 7......unless you are tired of it and then you can give it to me.....i like the potential of teh seven better, and think that you would get tired of the small, cramped, and useless interior of the mr2 before you would the rx7....
