I see.. Thanks speed.
Not to stray too off topic, so if\when I am looking for a SC kit and an RMM one comes up. A complete kit should include:
1. SC
2. SC bracket
3. Inter-cooler
4. Piping
5. 310cc Injectors
Anything else..

yep, crank pulley is required, intake with intake tubing (not hard pipe, more like a dryer hose), adapter for the oil return, bolts for the bracket and supercharger

forgot 1040mm belt.

were can you find a turbo kit for a gs 400 for that price thats insane mabey if it was a 300 but there are no turbo kits for the 400 you have to have custom headers made for one thats about 1000 or more then you have to have custom piping bent for the intake and turbos wastegate 200+ bov 100-200 turbos two for v8 done right there are a few people trying one for cost imo it would be better to run two smaller turbos spool up quicker.. anyways not to get off the subject but i highly doubt there is a turbo set up for any less than 5000 for all the parts not including labor for install. i have looked into all my options if there is a kit out there for less please let us all know i am sure there are a lot of people on here that would jump at turbo there lexus if it could be done for a few thousand!!!!

yes it has a pulley that goes on the power steering pump. it also comes with a belt tensioner most people just used a tee off the oil pressure port but i upgrade to a oil filter sandwich plate that gives me extra ports for the oil line and oil pressure sending unit. and most of the rmm kits do not have a blow off valve the previous owner put that in sounds awesome.

If you wanted to sell the RMM kit I bet you could get $3k for it.

But you may be right about rich kids in SoCal.. you may get lucky and find one ready to drop the cash and not look back. I just don't think chances of this are very high. My $.02
wow I skipped through this whole post! Cheapest I found a turbo kit for was the one Morris was selling...you can't find a turbo kit for under 4500 for the 400, but that was already stated and you thought it was for a 300....so all is good in the neighborhood.

Not to be a *****.. but RMM never made a kit for the 300 so the title should be self evident.

Well that .pdf pretty much nailed it.

RMM had an elbow welded to their SC casing. They come from Vortech without that elbow welded on. When replacing the SC, you get it without an elbow. Best bet is to get a 90 degree elbow reducer or a 90 degree mandrel with 2 couplers...
