Whose Turbo GS430 is this???
Going through some old URLs I had bookmarked this evening I found one from January to a beautiful GS. Can't recall if it came from CL or from some other random search. BUT there sounds like there is another Turbo GS v8 out there if this is accurate...
and a GS430 to boot! Plus a bunch of other tasteful and functional mods like those brakes.
Does anyone know Ryan? Sorry to "out" you if you are already a member of our forum and were trying to keep this quiet for now. I suspect that some of our Team Hokori folks that frequent this forum may know him as there is a link to their team site.
http://www.speedaddicts.com/ and click on the feature "GOT BOOST" towards middle right.

Dave,
you would be correct, Ryan is seen around town here in Sacramento a lot, I think most of his work was done by Motorsport Dynamics (motdyn.com) with Ed and his crew, I had no idea he repainted his car though, or maybe thats just a shot of another GS in the works. But yeah anyways I believe he's had that turbo for quite some time...

Lonely, that's what the 4.3 L motor looks like w/o the engine cover (which won't fit under any of the front STBs)...........and if you count intake runners, there are 8.
Doesn't anyone spellcheck (or, for that matter, just plain spell!!) any more? "L-Tined"?? "big break"?? "Pheonix"?? Oh well, let's try grammar: "If you have a hottest car............"

The owner of that particular GS is a member of this forum. For the sake of his privacy for now, I will let him reveal his SN. Yes, it is a Turbo GS430. Plus, the turbo setup that he had put together is just completely stunning...

Dave, the second link must be old because aside from the spelling errors, it makes no mention of a turbo.
I'd be curious to see the turbo installed pics. I know that if I had one of only a handful of turbo'd GS400/430's I would be showing the pics all over.
Then again, he may have some kind of agreement not to disclose due to some of the custom work being propietary. Who knows?
Nice car nonetheless.

It takes much effort, time and $$ for being the first GS430 to have TT, much probs to him
I do know there are quite some limits on the 430 engine, since it is ULEV, so this is really surprising ^_^ 400+ hp.

my 2 cents
Hey guys I spoke to our buddies at SRT. 2 TT turbo GS430 are already in the works. I would have been the 3rd GS to get it done. Cus of my $$$ situation right now I may just trade in my GS & trade for 01 GS300 sport design blk/blk. & Turbo the Bejesus out of it.
