$37,000 for a twin turbo install???!?

I hope they included some complimentary Vasoline with that raping they just gave you!

Please tell me they did more than just stuck 2 turbos under the hood? Maybe an upgraded fuel system, boost controller, and a few other accessories?

For 37k I'd also hope they did a transmission rebuilt or upgrade so that you won't be needing a rebuilt after 5k miles.

...unless of course the GS400 auto trannys were built to withstand 600+ pounds of torque... but honestly I've never once in my life seen a manufacturer (other than Allison w/ their diesal trannys) go to the trouble and expense of building their automatic trannys to withstand twice as much torque as they'd need to from the factory.

So what all did you get for 37k?

i am not expert in tt but isn't that 37k seems a bit too expensive?

Congrats to ya! When are you picking her up? I might come by if there isn't any snow on the ground!

mr who

i think he meant 37k for the car, + tax = the turbos. if not i agree with you guys...37k? holy *****

Gstt

no guys,
that's what he paid for just the TT setup + goodies(tranny rebuilt etc..)

not sure about the Blitz boost controllers,etc...

but either way, way too much money


like i said before, i would have rather done the v300 upgrade,

that would have run 26k installed and everything,

but hey its all about taste, and YOu Mariusz, just bought it

i meant that in a good way hehe.

good luck , lets c some 1/4mile vidz

I certainly admire the raw, unadulterated power combined with the grace of a GS4, but I think for $37K + tax, I'd be grabbing a new G35 Coupe or something as an extra car rather than souping up the GS.

Congrats, nonetheless!

at lexushp they showing pic of few other's lexus gs400 that has twin turbo already..

with serial number #001 and #002 which means they got it first as soon as it came out

lolol

It's still too much.

C'mon $37K. I bet not too long from now the abilitiy to produce these will be much easier to achieve and the price will drop.

I bet there's a huge profit margin on this. Of course, I know nothign about turbo installs or anything..

JYOO

Oh beyond huge. :eek:

Grimpy

wow! thats a lot of money!

90% of those things are either fluff... and by fluff I mean they range in retail value from $8 to $150, or they aren't even actual mods- just specs.

The only things worth much of anything is the tranny rebuild, turbos, and motor rebuild (balancing, etc)

Nice way to make a standard TT install w/ all the accessories sound like it's worth 35 grand though!

Heck, even Mr. Lingenfelter himself never charged that much for so little... and he's pretty much considered the god of all tuners.
