I understand you need help bud. But when you are asking a very searchable topic, you can not post a thread using no periods/commas/question marks and expect decent help.

Second, turbo and good gas mileage don't go together, hope you know that if u plan on building your own kit.

Now to try and help you with what i think your asking, whats your budget? Whats your hp goal? We cant help u with a good turbo size or piping or even intercooler dimensions..
You should worry about "whats good engine management" or else, nothing will get u good power efficiently.

Well another question is... Have you searched on here to see what people have been using and have you read about the results they have come up with by using these kits? Also, If you could give a your goal as far as horsepower level and more information about the Lexus that could possibly help us as well. As far as your price range you are close to the cost of the Driftmotion kit but I have never used one before. There are a lot of other choices and also options for what you want to do.

not to sound like a **** but if u cant pay to play stay out of the game. using "cheap" parts is exactly that, cheap and when a rod gets thrown cuz you skimped out on a good tune or software that didnt properly do the job what will you do?

im trying to save you the headache of getting in over your head and then wanting out.

Do not even think about going boost. What if you do get this "cheap" kit going? Works for 1k miles then your car/turbo blows. Then you have a useless kit and car.
