I'm not on a single turbo, I'm still on the stock turbo's with a tuned gte vvti Mines ecu.
This is going to be your best thread when it comes to information on a gte vvti swap and going single: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/bui...t-gt3582r.html
Good Luck!

A little more progress. Something I wasn't prepared for...the airbag does not fit a 92 SC300. The bar behind the dash blocks it, so I needed to find a way to cut away at the back of the air bag. I was a little hesitant at first, but what the hell. (I do not recommend that anyone does this as I'm probably lucky it didn't blow up in my face)
Here is a picture with the airbag charge removed. It was pretty easy to remove. There was one lock washer and one larger nut on the other end and it slid out.
The I cut off the back of the air bag. I will add pictures soon of the back cut and piece installed in the dash.

As someone that's been doing slow and steady repairs to mine, I wish I had your testicular fortitude to be taking apart the interior How hard was it to replace your regulator? That's my next project and I've read that DIY thread so many times it makes my head hurt. Also, as a fellow fast blinker club member, did you replace the bulbs with LEDs? I've been looking for which bulbs to use and can't seem to find a concensus on the forums...
All that said, awesome build man! Its stuff like this I see that gives me the drive to keep mine going. Good luck the rest of the way.

As for the rear tail lights, I just cut and rewired the bulb sockets to the appropriate points. I still have the fast blink, but it works, and that's all I care about for now. Once I start to fine tune little parts of the car, then I'll tackle that issue.
