no the computer on the LS430 and SC430 is not the same. and even if you got the kompressor from WALD, basically it is a TOM's RAcing unit, and the computer is for Japanese version, not our version, so it will not work ....i asked WALD, and they said no its not gonna work. even the Blitz twin-kompressor system for the SC430 will not work on our GS430 due to copmuter issues.....=(

that..i am not sure, but the kompressor will cost you ~ $12000 before tax. and plus installation, not worth it at all...it will only gives you about ~50 to 80 HP just look at the LS430. if you want to spend that much $ you should go custom kompressor. or swap the aristo engine instead.

well i think you can, you can always just get a fully standalone computer and have that work with the charger, the engine, and tranny. how much total to just hook everything up and get it running, let alone tunning? that's beyond my imagination

hahaha agree with you totally henry~!
to do the standalone unit for GS430 specifically, get a V-con pro from HKS for $1500 and you will need to do all the wires(yes it has to be custom) and it will end up to cost around $4000 for ONLY the computer.
that will add up close to $16k (at least) for just the kompressor from TOM's or WALD, or Blitz

RMM made a s/c kit for the GS400 and they had problem get rid of them. There aren't many demand for GS430.
