Thanks, I'm satisfied with the good numbers I'm making right now. I just need an HKS DLI and transmission upgrade to handle more power.
I appreciate the kind words! I hope my car will reach your guys' GS status some day, but I have plenty more to go!

Congrats on your build
looks like you spent quite a bit of $$$ i thought i remembered you saying you were not going to go big, but i see you built it now for future expansion to go big on power... i can see those upgrades are needed and have to be done right
if i ever have money for car stuff, im thinking of only turning my is300 into daily driver with 300-350rwhp and probably look for a nice cheap efficient in the power band that i want, turbo that will work in that range only as i really do not plan to go any bigger and invest any bigger into this car

. I rode in John's white turbo IS with a smaller turbo @ 330rwhp and it is fun! He hits full boost instantly and it pulls and pulls...If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
Thanks, I need to lose the 10 different pipe shades and get them redone to make the engine bay look nicer.

Thanks!
Yeah let me dig up the link and I'll send it your way.
Can't go wrong either way, I would go with the GTE if you find one though. If at the time I would've found a GTE, I would have done that. But I didn't so I said NA-T it is. But either way, cams will make a big difference, but you don't need the crank, not necessary to upgrade. I have a single precision, see specs in the 1st post. I paid what it costs to boost these cars, about the price of a used GS300.
