first gen gs300 turbo! worth it?
http://www.turbo-kits.com/lexus_turbo_kits.html
the above link is a first gen turbo kit. it claims that the factory rating of 220 hp is actually 175. i was wondering what you all thought of that. i was also wondering if that hefty amount of 4,500 dollars was worth it. also.....what about fuel management? i know i would get less toa gallon but what about fuel controllers and such? well thanks for the help.

kit and HP
The 175 hp they are talking about is the horsepower measured at the wheels when the car is stock. The FMax kits have a very good reputation. Whether it's worth the money is in the eye of the beholder. I would say it's probably worth it.
