Is there a Turbo or SuperCharger kit for the 430's
I've been looking around for a F.I kit for my car my car is a 2003 gs430. And all that I;ve seen is for the gs400's is the engine that much different ? I know SRT sells there twin turbo kit but I am not a high roller to afford a $35,000.00 twin turbo setup. So can anyone tell me if theres any GOOD kits out there not those mickey mouse jobs. thanks in advance

Jim,
The only Supercharger kit I know of is the RMM kit. It can be modified to fit the GS430. Call Blair at RMM (714) 847-2158. Your other option in So. Cal (and it's a bit more expensive) is a single turbo from XS-Engineering. When I was having XS install the SAFCII on my GS (I've got the RMM S/C on my '98GS400) they guy there (Reggie) told me they had recently done a single turbo on a new GS430. At 6 psi it got 388 rwhp. By comparison, I'm running about 5 psi and I've got 326 rwhp. The RMM S/C goes for $4,500 and they can install it in about a day (cost you maybe another $800 to $900). I think the guy who got the turbo from XS spent in the neighborhood of $20k. Both companies are in Huntington Beach. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply.
Yea i tried RMM I called them recently and they told me they do not have any kits for the 430 and when I asked him when will they have one for the 430 he replied were not making anything for that car. Personally he was being a real @ss about all my questions I was asking him. Maybe I just caught him on the wrong day. RMM is off my list. probably try XS. Thanks again.

I think SRT car do a custom TT setup on the 430.
Blitz or Tom's (can't remember) is also comming out with a duall supercharger and I think Wald also had a SC for the 430 engine (LS).

yup, some of the autofashion/stage magazines are already running ads with the Wald supercharger kit for the LS and I "think" Tom's supercharger is on sale now... not quite sure though.

guys......... i already tried to ask TOM's USA about the TOM's Supercharger...they WONT fit on the US spec GS430, even though they are the same engine (3UZ-FE) but the ECU is NOT the same, thus it WONT fit....
very disappointing isnt it?!!
now if someone are good enuf to make the japanese ECU fit on the US spec 3UZ-FE, it will be gREAT!
as for Blitz Twin supercharger, i asked them like 1 month ago and they said" the supercharger is SUPPOSED to fit on the GS430 as well, but they are NOT SURE" and told me to call them back towards the end of the year, DEcember...which the Supercharger will be released to public....
