I'll be the ginny on this one if I get this GS400 I'm looking at. I'm getting an STS kit for my Z so I'll just get the universal kit for the GS. I'll keep you guys posted.

a non-vvti 2jz is that cheap...it's tough to find a good VVTi GTE full swap for less than 3500-4000

email this guy i believe he's a member on here. and this was on his ls400 but almost the same concept! its very doable just a little pricey and time consuming! but not many options for turbo out for our cars without spending like 12k!

I havent done mine yet, obviously, but I would think it would depend on what your power goals are. I'm just looking to go with moderate boost just to get some decent power. So more than likely I will use a piggyback. Plus it'll be more cost effective. Unless someone is trying to get killer power than a standalone might be too much. Just my opinion though.

If you're thinking of boosting the V8, please know that anything past 400rwhp is playing with fire on a stock bottom end. That being said, on a built motor and proper turbo kit, you could be looking at 800rwhp safely. Convert to the 2uzfe iron block and give it all it's got. Have money ready because it's going to cost, but building a V8TT kit always does. If you're budget is 3500 dollars, I'd not even consider it. Your budget should be more like 30,000 from conception to the final dyno. Trust me that nuber isn't infalted, that's accurate.
