The car looks gorgeous. I like the way it looks with the exhaust angled out. Kind of makes it look more aggresive. Nice setup. You dynoing it soon. If so please post your dyno results along with your setup again.
3000$ for whole setup. You must have gotten some good buys.
Good luck.

damn that's sweet!!!!! Now that's a prime example of why our cars rock! $3k and some elbow grease turns into a perfect cruiser! Keep up the awesome work, I'm still trying to open up my 97+ tails from your previous mod

technik- No, I'm not currently using any type of fuel management. I'm still using the stock MAF, stock ECU, stock injectors, but I do have a Walbro fuel pump installed. At 7psi, the car runs fine. It runs very smooth during low, mid, and full throttle conditions too.
bruce van- Thanks. That's exactly what I wanted- a sleeper. My Lexus is definately not a race car, which is why I didnt wana go crazy and pretty much tell the world "Look at me, I'm modded like crazy"
94SC3005Sp- thanks for the compliment on the exhaust. Initially, I was debating whether or not to keep the exhaust angled, but I guess it's growing on me a bit. It definately looks aggressive, and somewhat unique. I must admit- I like the sound more than the looks. I am, however, getting more and more used to it, and I'm kinda starting to like it.
Idrewfelix- Eventually, I plan on installing a thicker head gasket to drop the compression ratio somewhere in the 8's or low 9's... but that's nowhere in the near future. For now, I plan on running 7psi on pump gas, and a max of 10psi on 100 octane race gas.
indypwr- Yea, I do plan on getting a wideband and/or an EGT gauge pretty soon- just to be on the safe side.
soarer5780- Nope, no clearance issues at ALL with the DaveH manifold. Everything fit and lined up perfectly, and nothing needed to be altered for proper fitment. I'll probably dyno the car in a month or two, once I start pumping 100 octane, and raise the boost to 9-10psi or so. By then, I might even be using the s-afc. No set date on the dyno, but I'll definately keep you guys posted.
STRONG SC- The total was a little over $3,000.. not too bad IMO. Everything was fairly straight forward for the turbo kit installation- which really impressed me. I was really surprised as to how well the stock ECU responded to such a drastic change in power- it still runs like it did the first day I bought the car.
Thanks for all the comments from everyone else. Again, if you have any questions regarding NA-T, post up
