How much reliability would you lose on a Lexus with these mods, anyway?

GTE internals
new oil pump
HKS272 cams
Dentsport/Turboeast return fuel kit (The nice lines and regulator from the dentsport kit, with the sending unit internals from the Turboeast kit.)
Walbro in tank pump and one inline pump (good for 750 whp)
TEC3 standalone
Uego-1000 wideband
Greddy Profec B boost controller
boost gauge
Greddy TurboTimer
Water Meth kit with computer controller (done by PFS)
Toyomoto Cast manifold (ceramic coated)
Garrett GT 35/4088r (Specd by turboeast)
Turboblanket from boost logic
Pyrometer
3" downpipe, no cats
3" PFS catback, with an extra Magnaflow 3" muffler in line to quiet the car down
Godzilla BOV
Racegate
PFS stage 2 intercooler
JIC FLT suspension with Pillow Ball mounts
Manaray Vertec 18" wheels
Carbon fiber vented hood (painted to match the car)
Cwest style front bumper (painted to match the car)
Alpine CD player
Two kicker amplifiers, one for mids, one for subs
Two JL audio 12's in an obcon box
Jl audio 6x9's in the rear deck (factory locations)
6.5" Kicker comp component set up front. (factory locations)
3tv's (two in the headrest, one in the passenger sunvisor)

The first thing that sticks out is the meth system. Just a bandaid IMO, and anothing thing that can go wrong at the wrong point.

Also if that's the stock auto or five speed tranny i wouldn't trust it with anything over 500ish hp (probably less). You want/need a V160. And once you have that a new rear end as well.

And this is just personal opinion but i would much rather have two stock supra fuel pumps than a walboro anything in that car. Lots of people do this and it's proven to work very well.


edit: although i would be worried about buying a modded car. You can tell when something is done correctly and if you can't get someone who can take a look at it with you. Also make sure you take it on a nice long test drive, get compression test done, even see if you can take it to a reputable shop that can take a look it for a minimal fee. I wouldn't hesitate buying a car that's been modified by a reputable local shop (i.e. neal sutton, titan, etc.)
