as of right now I have an offer on the head/turbo assemblies that might be too good to pass up and it is opening doors to another direction for the motor. decisions, decisions we are still going to turbo this car. it is just a matter of deciding what is best for the budget and how to make it perform well/reliably as well as pretty things up under the hood.
LS swap like AMSMike.... now that would be a great direction to go... Can't wait..

Thanks, I've got the 01 GS300 (show and go coming soon), the 89 Supra Turbo (Currently running 10 lbs on the 7MGTE looking to go to the 1JZ swap later on), and a 94 GMC Sierra (Tow/Support vehicle with a 4/6 drop) and also a 95 MKIV Supra that is most likely going to be sold next week with a built 2JZGTE 500+WHP

Great Looking GS. Some of my inspiration for mine came from your ride.
