Default Toyomoto turbo kit?

Will the Toyomoto turbo kits for IS300 work for GS300?

They have quite a few of them running around, especially in the Miami/ Ft. Lauderdale area. One with 550hp:eek:

Ray,

Contact Toyomoto directly for the straight answer. While you're at it, ask them if they have any turbo application for GS430.

I've talked to Lance about the design of the kit. It seems pretty decent. It didn't cut too many corners. I especially like their cast iron turbo manifold design. I am still a tad bit curious about using factory pistons on high boost applications especially since the 2JZGE head is missing oil squiters like the one on the 2JZGTE. And guys running the kit without a tranny rebuild...

Globe, the turbo applications for the IS300 are totally different than the ones for the GS300. RacingAristo there are currently no turbo applications for the GS430 from Toyomoto.
