C'mon guys, lets not knock TDI now.
Like other members I too have bought parts from them and for what I purchased price was competitive and service excellent.
I would certainly recommend them to other members.

Just to set the record straight we have never taken 2 weeks (or even 1 week) to do a nitrous install, and the 2 jobs were not the same thing at all. You only need to look at the 2 cars side by side to see the difference.

We offer NoS kits for under £500 plus vat for guys looking for an entry level system, and we offer options and upgrades for the more discerning owner.

Anyway getting back to your request, do you have anything mind regarding your requirements or budget?

Hidden agendas and personal issues make people spread lies and rumours - welcome to my world :crybaby:

Fortunately some of those concerned have been banned. Unfortunately there are still 2 :tsktsk: :tsktsk: that haven't been banned yet.

I'm the 2.5 k guy and am well chuffed with what I've had done.

Theres been a lot said about the 2 installs on here and I don't want to revisit that.

You pay your money & take your choice !!

PS I also had my pre-cats removed..........

i must admit that i didnt see what those members that are banned put but why ban people for voiceing there opinions its the same i think halfords is **** and alot of other places but you wouldnt get banned just for saying that if it was slander i could understand !
Scorpion
I take it the 2 censored smilies means members......or does it mean something else?

ive put some 5k in Tdi's pockets, and although in my opinion Tdi are a bit pricey, i find the backup and service to be exceptional. even to the extent of a couple of visits for minor tweakage at no cost.
All in all, thats why i put my money into Tdi's sky rocket.
anyway's this is all :offtopic: errr what was the question again..

Ok, back to the original question :P

Best thing would trade your car for an Aristo TT. In fact the interior etc are even higher quality than the GS300 (and also the insurance premium is hugher :yawn: )

This would be my first choice if you would like to do the turbo way. Also, the Aristo TT is not just a GS300 with a turbo. Many of the internal parts as been uprated.

There are not many options for turbos, and that is understandable since both the US and Japan (the main markets) have alternatives.
Japan: N/A Aristo (JZS160) -> Aristo TT (JZS161)
US: GS300 -> GS400/430

If you would like to stay with a Lexus I would go for the GS430.
