Soooo whats the ride like Mr Turbo, is it a major increase? did it turn the LX into an instant wheel chirpping beast? Did it bring the LX up to about the power of say the 300+ hp Escalade / Denali. Can you give us some daily driving feed back here. I've been starving for more power since day one, and your the first one I know of who has one installed in an LX that can actually give us some realtime behind the wheel feedback, save the technical brew ha and tell us about difference you feel in that throttle babie.

Funny, I have been spending more time over on ih8mud and the Tundra forums because there is more technical information and wrenching going on over there and less bling.
But, for feedback after my overboosting was fixed the LX is just like before except 350hp under the foot instead of 235ish. Really, it drives just like before in all conditions and added throttle brings instant boost and sit you in the seat power. If you want to pass anyone and kick it down.....instant boost and torque and the LX rockets or should I say takes off like it should. My Supra turbo or STI rockets when kicked so I must temper that word.
Gas mileage....I posted this info over on ih8mud.com but short story....13, 11.7, 14.5 on the last 3 tanks.

350HP thats a totally different vehicle power wise. Thank you very much for that piece of information, thats exactly all what I wanted to know, if it was worth it.

I like your philosophy of keeping what you got and improving it. I saw no reason to buy the RX330 or even the RX400h and now I have one of the fastest RX300s on the earth. Though I want to turbo it to make it the fastest.

Also, can you post some info on the Borla?? Pics and sound bites would be great. I may make you a better deal.

sound bites are hard to come by for just the borla because my intake is so overwhelmingly loud...which i love.
Ok if anyone can give me a clue on how to add a bunch of pictures to one post, i just took a bunch of pictures of my exhaust system + intake. I also took two cheap videos w/ my digital camera full throttle for two gears, one windows open one closed. For now you all get this shot
and also its been rainning for the past few days so my truck isnt clean, especially the tip but i tried to clean it off a little bit
