The turbo starts spooling at 2200 rpms. Full boost is at ~3k.

If anybody can help me, I need a 2001 and up GREY Aristo steering wheel.

cant you use a 2001 Lexus gs300 steering wheel? what about the 1998+ GS400 steering wheel? Both of these come with the steering mounted buttons for gear change unless you want the aristo steering wheel for the toyota sign?

I need an Aristo airbag with the "T". The '01 and up comes with the chrome "T",98-00 is the same color as the steering wheel. The only items left on my car that say Lexus are the steering wheel and the radio. I can change the radio whenever i feel like but the steering wheel is harder to come by.

Do you just want the center part of the wheel? Whole wheels are like US$80 or more on yahoo auctions for S161 and later Aristos

So the car has been in the bodyshop for the last 3 weeks. Finally got it back last week but it;s been raining for like 8 days straight. The car was repainted 202 black with a blue pearl mixed in the clear coat. I think it's more blue than black now but it looks sexy. Hopefully tomorrow I can take some nice pictures. I also had my ls400 BBK installed. I needed a 3mm spacer in the front to clear my wheels.
