1st Gen 93-97 GS300 turbo
I understand that some people have turboed their Gs300s, but there is just one concern I have. How does the rest of the car hold up after getting turboed?? Things such as the axels, driveshaft, engine itself, etc. Let's say around 400-500hp, would that call for a complete rehaul of all the factory parts? THanks

lots of mods.... thats all i gotta say...... change that head gasket stock ge block will handle close to 400 horses but if ur gonna turbo u might as well go all out n just upgrade everything ... for a fuel pump go supra tt its alot quieter and still handles up to 500+ horses.. i only got fuel cutt when i cranked it to 29psi and that was bad fuel cut....

This whole time I thought you had the GTE engine. Regardless, you have a nice setup. Too bad I can't slap that setup here in san diego. damn emission laws.

after talking with quite a few ppl with the swaps or just turbo added, the biggest hurdles have been tranny on all accounts.
I was about to buy a whole aristo swap "kit" but I have different plans now. screw turbos and auto trannys lol.
