i am looking into boosting my car. and came upon this

[http://www.swiftracing.com/turbochargers/lexus/is300/stagediy.htm](http://www.swiftracing.com/turbochargers/lexus/is300/stagediy.htm)

It comes w/every thing you need except the fuel system. Which is not to bad because i can just source those my self.

4 grand for a complete turbo kit isn’t really that bad, plus you’ve got to figure that anything for a lexus is going to cost more.

4k is alot for a cast mani, a turbo, $200 worth of piping and some little shit

you would spend less on EVERYTHING if you bought everything seperate and had hybrid build you a killer manifold

its basicly a supra motor as it is, so doing a supra black swap wouldnt be the greatest way to start spending $

plus, since alot of supra guys convert to single turbo, he could wind up spending a bunch of money on stuff thats just gonna get tossed anyways, not to mention the possible problems with adapting the supra ecu to the IS300

the one thing i wondering on that kit you posted is if having the waste gate dump before the cat is the greatest idea. wouldnt it be more effective to have it dump behind teh cat ?

if you do all the research and can learn to compare one kit vs another in terms of  
the sacrafices made for cost, manufacturability, performance fit and finish etc…  
you will be better off.  
unless you hear from people with experience using that kit?

You might be better off building your own stuff…  
then you dont have to say “why the hell did they do that?”
