Default looking to get a GS300 with a 2jzgte

I'm looking at a car with the following:

2jzgte w/ 80,000km automatic
new water pump/timing belt
custom t4 mani
tail 48mm waste gate
t67 ddb turbo
vibrant intercooler powder coat black for that sleeper look
custom alumium intercooler piping w/ bolt style clamp
hks ssqv bov new style
custom 3" turbo back dual exgust
optima red top battery
trd advox coil overs
walbro 255

What are some things I should look for. New to the lexus scene so not sure what I should specifically look for, especially with the 2jz in the gs300.

No fuel management, stock ECU. 160 compression across the boards.

Thanks guys.

Check for :
oil leaks,
excessive smoke from turbo
knocks from engine
drive it and make sure tranny shifts fine.

I don't remember tial making a 48mm gate. 38mm I remember. With the stock injectors the turbo is a tad overkill. You would be limited to just over 400 wheels. I used a bb TO4S and had the same results.

What is the price?

I think the one he is looking at is selling for 5500 with a repaired tranny and 5000 with a bad tranny. Its posted on the Supra forums > pretty clean looking car otherwise.

5500 for a GTE GS is a pretty damn good deal, there has to be something wrong with it. I would get a mechanic to check it out throughly.
