Parts List:
-Precision 60trim T3/T4 Turbo.
-Manifold is from one of my friends. He's buys those manifolds in large quantities. I think it's the same as the XS Power ones, but the quality is pretty good. He's running a similar one on his Supra w/ 1JZ-GTE and pushing 600hp, and so far no problems.
-HKS SSQV BOV, yes a real one
-3" Polished stainless steel Intercooler piping all the way around
-Big *** intercooler, XSPower brand but hey it was cheap
-Tial 38mm wastegate, yes a real one too...lol
Etc....etc....and other little common components.
Engine management is gonna be a PCS XFC as recommended to me by Jason over at JPI. Seems like he's got it all running pretty nicely on the GS and IS cars.

Yea XSPOWER is the same as SSAutochrome. I used to run one of their fmic's (24x12x3)
That thing was SWEET! It filled up the gap in the front bumper better than my puny Spearco (24x7x3.5).
As with most SSAutochrome/XSPOWER manifold and turbo's, you might have to make a new flange and reclock the turbo. But the GS300's don't have distributors, do they? Cause if they don't, then you probably won't have to reclock anything.
Btw - you have pm.

Hey, you didn'y have too many problems with the XS Power stuff right? I heard a lot of supra guys run their manifolds and intercoolers with no problems at all, and these are the guys that boost like crazy. I also hear a lot of people hating on the brand because their stuff is low quality. I don't know about you, but the intercooler I got and manifold(supposedly the same as XS) is pretty good quality...especially for the price

All I ran was the intercooler. I didn't run their manifold or their turbo's. But from what other Supra owners are saying (at least the NA guys, same engine as GS300) is that they have to create a new flange and they have to reclock their turbo so it will sit right in the engine.
And here's my eBay fmic
I ran into some mounting problems, but it was nothing a few custom brackets couldn't fix.

Doing the whole install in my garage...yes the one behind my house
Ok, here's an update. Bolted up a few things tonight. Impact wrench late at night is a little bit noisy. Neighbors must not like me too much...heh.
Next step is to cut up the intercooler piping and get it all welded together
