Hey guys I will be turboing my GS within the next 2 months. I was wondering if anyone here had some experience with it. The only things I am really worried about are:
1. Oil pan drilling
2. Beading/Cutting IC piping
Those are the two main things I am going to have trouble with, and I could just use a person to help in general. If anyone feels like they have the time to help a brother out and would like some money or lunch or something please let me know.
Thanks,
Elliott

All good advice right there!!! ^^^
Turbos are not something you want to try and do cheap!
Like i said man, Ill hit you up when I get back into town and give you a hand! Ill more than likely be doing FI on my GS3 eventually and would love to get a basic knowledge of the engine before I start digging into mine!

Wrong.
You dont want the bung as low as possible in the pan as oil will back up into return. You want the return flowing without resistance, the return line should be as high up on the pan as you can without hitting anything on the inside.
Elliot, pm me and I will walk you through the correct way to tap your pan and approx. where to do it, ttyl man.

If I was you Elliot, I would follow the pic a couple posts above . When the time comes, pm me for specifics, you can do it safely without metal shavings or dropping the pan

If you use that spot though there is a high probability of shavings dropping into the pan. To completely clean it you would have to drop the pan. On a Gs 300 the pan is blocked by the crossmember so you would need to lift the motor to get it out.
