Default GS Turbo?

Was wondering if anyone in the bayarea turbo charge a GS300 yet and possibly what there thoughts were? As I am thinking about doing this. I thought I'd put a separate post here as I am from the Bay Area.
I will also put something up on the performance category.

First of all, which generation of the GS are you looking to turbocharge? What year?
Also, what kind of thoughts are you looking for?

If it's the 1st gen GS300, the engine is a 2JZ just like the SC300 and the NA Supra, so you can use a lot of part for these applications.

Need more info before you get any answers.

Cheers,

Good point. I was looking to do it to a 2nd gen GS300 like a 2000 or something, but 98+.

The swap on a 2nd Gen GS is relatively straight forward. The best option would be for you to find an Aristo front clip. Tranny, ECU, everything. Then its pretty much juts swapping it over, and changing some pin outs on the ECU. Of course theres little details youll have to work out here and there as well.
