    Try a search, here or google......IMO it's not worth the money, sell the GS and buy a GS-T.

    What year? If it's a 1g not that big a deal if it's the 4g63 n/t. If it is a 2g it's a totally different motor. Not worth trying to swap it IMO. If you MUST be boosted get a HRC kit for the 420a.

    over all its gst right? l0l
    it wont be the same because its not a gst factory, but the only way to get gs to a gst is add turbo, thats the mmain point, gs = no turbo gst = turbo,
    like they said, if you want a gst, sell the gs and buy a gst or if you dont want to, add turbo.

    No, GS= 420A, GS-T=4G63....so adding a turbo doesn't make it the same
