That's the FMAX kit, do a search and you'll find a ton of debate about this kit.

Cool I have no idea about the kit

Well I have no idea about lexus kit at all, but bolt on kit allow you to do it by yourself. Maybe the kit wasn't good enough, just upgrade the turbo charge.

I dunno man.....the f-max kit is starting to look pretty tempting. I mean, for 4,595 with a head gasket, shift kit (under options...i dunno if that come with it or not), and a front mount intercooler. It quotes 320 rwhp, but could probibly be tuned to around 380. Lexkid (i believe) has had the kit for awile and no problems. And i knoe this sounds cheezy, but listen to what f-max says on www.rollhard.com "A message from F-Max
Each component in your kit is manufactured to the highest standards with an attention to detail unmatched by most turbo systems. Each piece of metal is welded by employing the Tungsten Inert Gas welding method. TIG welding is not only used, but performed according to stringent standards. You will find excellent penetration, fusion and application of heat to metal components, eliminating the cracking and delamination associated with inferior welding techniques. Feel free to compare our welding with that of other manufacturers and you will find that our methods are equivalent, if not superior in all cases.
We aspire to manufacture products that exemplify an attention to detail. Questions to ask yourself when researching turbo systems: What method is used to weld the products together? Is there proper penetration, fusion and use of heat? Are the thicknesses of the flanges adequate for their purposes? Do the pieces line-up and fit in place? Are your intercooler pipes bead-rolled to eliminate the likelihood of intercooler hoses uncoupling? Is there a functional design to the intercooler piping configuration? Our piping is designed to maximize the amount of plenum volume available to the engine at Wide Open Throttle. Do their turbo manifolds crack, and will they warranty their fabrication? What is the primary material that the manifold is made of? Constructed from High-Carbon Cast-Steel, our manifolds are designed to eliminate the crystallization associated with high ductile Iron. What differentiates mild-steel from, stainless steel is the concentration of Carbon in the material. The more Carbon, the higher the grade of steel and the more resilient it is to the effects of heat. Are the bends mandrel bent? Kinks and abrupt changes in radii of tubing impedes flow and reduces charge air velocity. Are all of the flanges machined true, so that surfaces are perfect for sealing? Is there a general regard for function in the design and engineering of the components? Don't settle for kits that require you to weld or fabricate just to install their kit. Lastly, go with your intuition. Is it too good to be true? Price often reflects quality."

sorry for the loooooong post, but i mean, its sounding like a REALLY good deal.

Talking Well I know why

Business guys selling parts at auto part stores and performance shops. They can communicate but most of time you will get wrong parts

....and you wanna buy a turbo kit from someone that says the 92 is different body style from the 93????

Odd that they're talking about welding practices yet F-max is the manifold that has the crappy welds that break.
