Default Stage 1 and 1.5

What are the differences between the Toyomoto Stage 1 and 1.5?
Also... after reading some of the threads about the turbo systems for the sc, Toyomoto sure has everyone's nuts in a vise. Damn, I wish there was more competition for these turbo systems. Someone wrote earlier about them making a profit of 2000 per system, to me their making more around 3500. I don't know about the rest of you but 7500 for a turbo system is ****ing ridiculous to me. The sad thing is that i'll probably end up buying one cause its the only quality one out there... Everyone from ClubLexus should get together and help build a turbo kit, I'm sure with all the connections out there everyone has, it would be possible.. that would be cool...

LOL awj

yeah there's the fmax, or you can always piece together a kit from multiple groups

Lance no longer offers the manifold from the Toyomoto kit so the only one available is performance factory; which is a much better manifold but its also a lot more expensive

the fmax manifold is not as bad as everyone says; VeilsideRSP has one on this board; there's a thread somewhere where he posted info about it and his impressions

all you need for a base kit is:
manifold
turbo
IC piping
IC
fuel pump
oil and water lines and fittings
misc gaskets and bolts n junk

you couldn't run much boost; like 5-7psi max; but you can always get an AIC or piggyback unit like the Greddy Emanage (and get it programmed for you or if you can source the software)

Bean, VeilsideRSPsc doesn't have the FMAX manifold, he's got the Toyomoto, you're thinking of lexkid.
