Question Turbo in Cali

i was wondering if anyone knew of a place that they would recommend to have a custom turbo built for my gs430...i wanna keep the v8 so it looks like getting a custom kit is the only way to go. do any of you have any recommendations as to shops or manufactures that u would highly recommend for this task in cali? i'm ready and eager to have it done!!!! thanks in advance.

Swift Racing is the only shop that I know can do twin turbo on Lexus v8. Too bad they are way out in DC area.

TMEngineering www.tmengineering.net
XSEngineering www.xs-engineering.com
SPEngineering www.sp-power.com

I would go to XS- engineering or TM

I would stay away from SP Engineering. They have too many horror stories. One of the horror stories happened to our own club member.

Todd from TMEngineering is more than capable...I would trust all my cars with him - not just my Lexus. Be prepared to pay big bucks though because there is no standard bolt-on kit available. Everything will be customized.
