What year supra LSD did you get I see it is 3.26 geared but was wondering if the install went well and was it as much of a direct bolt in. Thanks

Mine is out of a JDM 1998 6 speed supra. From 1997 to 2002 the 6-speed supras were made in japan with a A03B instead of the B03B diff so they have the smaller ring gear and case. They bolt up directly to the gs4xx but they have the 3.26 ratio.
it was a direct bolt in very easy once you remove the exhaust. ( you might be able to leave the exhaust on i was just replacing it to).

The tips are magnaflow performance. I really liked them and they fit the factory bumper perfectly. Plus the end of the tip isnt rolled steel its solid.

Do you have any Hp goals for the supercharger if you do it? I understand it's hard to get over 400hp on the 400/430 models..

Got all exhast removed including manifolds, wow that was fun. Changed the four o-ring rubber hangers for the muffler with new lexus ones $$$. Wanted mufflers to hang proper. What a pain to remove rear hanger bracket to change rubber o-ring hangers they use 2 E16 inverted torx nuts, Weird. Hung up tanabe mufflers and center pipe and loosly bolted them together for now. Should get some more work in on wednessday. Pics soon.
