Default GS4 mods

I just purcahsed a GS4 at work today. An older gentleman traded in his 98' for an 02'. Anyhow, it has 39k miles on it and we took it in for $22,000.00 I paid $22,500.00 for it. It's silver with satin finished 17's and wingless. I currently own a BMW 330CI and a 94' Supra w/ all the goodies. I'm wondering what I can do to the car to get about 400-450 rwhp out of the car. Is this possible with the GS4? I'm going to put on my Blitz type 03's tomorrow. I just took them off the Supra because I ordered some Do-Luck wheels from Japan. Is it possible to put a turbo on a GS4? Thanks, Mike D.

Mike your not far from me at all. Did your dealership pick up the car at the W.P.A.A.? That's about how much my buddy(Dealership owner) picks them up for. And then would do about the same $500 markup for me to cover the auction buy fees, inspection, shipping, etc...

As far as modding the GS, your current best bet would be to install a supercharger. Twin Turbo setups have been done on the 1UZ-FE but at this point superchargers will be much cheaper. A few members have GS4's in the 400-450 RWHP range and beyond. There are a bunch of companies out there that supercharge the GS400 like Area 51, SRT, etc...

SRT makes GS400 superchargers. 4 Stage Packages.
Oh thanks LS400, I was wondering about that.
