Nice car! Your car called my car last night and said they want to have a date. .so pls send your car over to Australia 
I am also thinking of s/c or turbo charging my car. What would you recommend? For turbo, the max we can use is around 6-8psi. Is this similar to a s/c?
So you can use BOV for a s/c? when does it go pshhhh if it's not a manual?

Because you have a differrent motor I dont really know what to recommend.
The blow off valve still releases pressure in between shifts. You can really hear it if you let your foot off the gas between shifts. Also if im at a high rpms and a lift off the accelerator it will go pshhh.

While I'm (still) waiting for Lexus to manufacture an '02 IS with my desired specs, I'm researching super/turbochargers for more power. I'm extremely interested in the Area51, though I want to take it past Stage 1. Is the Area51 shop only in California?

Martaigne...
I'm with you. I'm in Atlanta and have been researching forced induction options too. The safest is going to be TRD, installed by the Lexus dealer - but when will it be ready and how much power? I don't even own an IS300 yet, I'm waiting to see what shakes out with IS300 mods and competitive offerings (like the Nissan/Infiniti G35). I really want the 5 speed IS but it's gotta have more power. SRT and A51 are too far away. Good luck in your search.

I'm moving to Atlanta November 1st myself. 
Someone showed this to me (http://www.powerhouseracing.com/cata...exusIS300.html), it looks promising but I want some proof that they can do some of these things to an IS. A 2JZGTE TT engine in an IS and maintain OEM functions?
I won't mind taking the 12 hour drive to TX to get this work done if it's reliable.
Has anyone else had any experience with Jarrett and Co.?

Wow, that looks awesome - if the reliability is there like you said. I want about 5 things there - 6-speed tranny, carbon fiber drive shaft, Stage 2 turbo, beefed up clutch...
It's like Gran Turismo 3 come to life!!!

That setup is awesome! Who did the installation and does the blower void your warranty? I am looking to maybe do the same thing in the future...any tips would be appreciated.

I love your setup!! Looks less crowded than the SRT Stage 1. Was wondering if u could ask A51 guys if they had any requests coming from Hawaii. I haven't found any sources for SC installers on-island.
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance
