I wonder how much power it puts down. Go try it and write a review. Looks like a clean install.

When I talked to the guy that made the kit, He was thinking the SC300 has different cams then the NT Supra, but I don't think so. I belive they are the same motor. He said his NA-T kit on the supra made 380 on stock exhaust, and just a fuel pump and FMU. Is that pretty decent? I'm thinking you would see the same results on the SC300

This kit looks nice. Do you know what numbers they expect from it? Kinda crazy that there is no real fuel management.

Yea i have heard some ok, and bad things, i'm not really looking for a kit that sort of fits, a few people have had to cut the turbo flange off and re-angle it etc.

XS Power = good product for a great price . Just ask XS Power to reclock the manifold turbo flange for you so it clears the distributor = problem solved

The price kinda scares me being so cheap. Is it all stainless?

I would also like to know. I'm not looking for huge horsepower gains, just around 250-280rwhp. Guess I'll look more into the XSPower kit.
