The motor is going back in the Supra next weekend so time may be an issue for me. You should be able to send both pipes OK. Remember they are smaller than the rest will be. Look at it this way the stock exhaust is real restrictive and making them flow into the turbo is still better flow so no need for something big diameter. It can be done just make sure both sides are the same going into the turbo. Don't let a shop tell you this is that crazy to do!!!!
1.turbo $850.00
2.pipe $2000.00-includes labor
3.bov/wg,misc $1000.00
4.fuel,spark,misc $1000.00
5.labor for all other install $1000.00
$6000.00 375whp will make a big jump in that car.

if your never going past like 14 psi you could use 2 small turbos on both sides.
possible even mod a set of stock supra TT twins on the cheap.
you would build boost faster, but limited in max psi.
Im not sure its safe to boost much more than that anyways on a stock 1uz.
just a thought. man I love boost.

i like my junction produce exhaust too. lol so i would have to put the turbo some where between the cats and rear axle. ive been talking to al about buying his y pipe off of his old gs but if that doesnt work i might consider doing it if i can figure out spacing issues.

plus i dont know what kind of turbo to run. hahahah

can some one get me an under car shot of the GS?
I suggest plan B: 2jz ARISTO, swap. ISP is actually working on one at the shop, Black with Advan wheels. The swap was done in florida, from what was said, minor BPU and it has 380 RWHP. I will take some pictues to post when I go back up there.

Plan C: http://www.lextreme.com, if anyone knows what can and cannot be done with a V8. is these guys. And I think they actually sell a bracket for a supercharger.

Plan A: is sweeter and more unique.
Rear Mounted Turbos: http://www.ststurbo.com/ I had a friend actually look at doing this to his SC. There is a shop in Maryland and Virginia. Love to see this setup on a GS.

Looks like we are at 4 options now. The $$$$ may be higher on some options but no more than 8k I would think.

That's Racinstyle's setup on his LS...

I'm not turbo... my old GS was turbo but I've been looking into that option with my LS. In regards to the GS, we can discuss it in depth then if you want since I have been down that road.

you could always go crazy and do this set up in your 2uz...




this setup actually went into a Supra...

Ic racinstyles didn't have that last summer when I was in Houston. LOL sneaky. Yeah I'd like to be around people so we can discuss. Since I don't see how some of the piping is to be routed and it's hard to explain on a forum through text.
