Thumbs up Q: Supercharger kit

Is there any supercharger kit for the 3gs out there? And does the supercharger for is350/250 fits on 3gs?

toms make a s/c kit, but you will need to ask them directly about availability.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to get a custom turbo?

Would be cheaper to just buy an extra car with a turbo... or get a 2nd Gen GS300 and swap in a turbo.

No offense, but the 3GS is THE best looking GS model to me. It would be cheaper to go with a 2GS with a 2JZ but It just won't look as good......Pleas don't be mad at me....

No, they're saying instead of paying 10+k on a brand name kit made specifically for the 3GS,, it'd be cheaper just getting a 2GS motor that already has the supercharge/turbo kit installed and just drop that in the 3GS. How much is said motor?

Please excuse me, I was referring to an earlier post about a 2nd gen GS. A 2JZ in a 3GS would be great. I wonder who would tackle the wiring on it? Mechanically, it shouldn't be too difficult, but the wiring and getting everything to work.....
