Default Twin Turbo GS?

Who is lad67 (EBay user ID)? He said he's having a new Twin turbo 700+ Lexus V8?

By the way, 3 dollars for the intake/ecu is hella cheap.

I meant fitting the engine with all turbo piping in the engine BAY.
Sorry for the confusion.

Do you think I will win the Bid at $5.95?
Do not like to buy anything used.

Default $3.00... yeah right

Guys,

Sorry to point out the obvious but I think the reserve price is set at $76.00... which is still a bargain for the Swift Racing ECU/Intake combo.

BTW, I noticed that his/her ebay ID is lad76... this wouldn't be the ladman (spelling?) Lexus forum moderator? Hmm... food for thought.
