oh, that will run great, and spool up quick. Hopefully you can get somewhere around 300whp?

probably around the same # for wtq too, I would think? I'm not familiar with toyota/lexus motors being turbo'd, except for the MR2.
I own a hybrid honda which is a dohc 1.6 turbo. made 252whp @ 7psi (motor is rated at 160hp @ crank)
Brother has a MR2 turbo, did some minor upgrades to it, and made some not bad power aswell.
honda went 12.9 @ 108mph in the 1/4
mr2 does low 14's still

Yeah, traction is a huge issue with the fwd's. That wasn't done on street tires. Street tire best was 13.3 I believe, with a 2.2 60 foot, @ 108 mph aswell though. =o
I havn't seen any turbo lexus' in person yet. I'm looking into purchasing either a 1993-97 GS300 , or an ES300, 95/96 or a 97.

Intercooler has been fitted, but not mounted. 1/2 of the collector pipe is welded and the plans for all the piping is finished. More updates tomorrow as full time work begins tonight.
