either. The more I read the more confusing it is. Aristo ecu, GS300 ecu use a piggyback wiring setup. Then some say you'll lose you OBD some say no, goes on and on. Talked to one guy who did it and he blew a head casket in a week and spun a rod bearing a month later. I duuno I might go for a beefy rebuild and a single turbo setup. THOUGHTS

Jeff Tsai and myself have done a few. Are you looking for information on doing it yourself? We just finished a GTE swap into an 01 IS300. HKS T51R, Wiseco pistons, GTE rods, boost controller, methanol, and the works.

There are too many factors to give an accurate price quote. Do you want the car to pass OBD2 emissions testing and have no check engine light? That requires a major rewire of the whole harness. If you don't care about that, then you can just use the GTE ecu. Using the GTE ecu only works on 98-01(before mid year models). On 01 after mid year to 05 cars, using the GTE ecu is going to require a complete change out/modification of the cars wiring harness. Not cheap to do, so I don't recommend that route if your car is the 01+ model.
Then you need to address what turbo you want to use. In most cases the stock twins have probably at least 40-50k miles if not more, and who knows how hard they were driven during their service. Using the stock twins are an option you can take, but know that there are risks of the turbo possibly failing soon afterwards. Kind of a gamble. I usually recommend people to upgrade to a single turbo before the engine goes into the car. Once the engine is in the car, the stock twins take up to 8-10hours to remove(usually around $1000 in labor just to do a single turbo swap with the engine in car). With engine out of the car the stock twins can be removed in around 30 minutes.
Give me a call and I can help guide you to what kind of setup will best suit you based on your needs.
