What's up? Croddy, I'll let you know when I'm bringing the car. Should be soon now! And that is the Toyomoto Turbo kit. The base kit costs $7950, and yes this is the same kit that is already making about 600rwhp on an IS 300 in Miami.

Well if your putting the turbo in and gonna be pushing more than 350 hrs I would seriously think about changing your tork converter. I have heard thru the grape vine so to speak that anything over that ammount of power will mess with the way the car shifts and you won't get the full effect of the power. If I am not mistaken the car tries to drop your horse power slightly before shifting to try to give a smoother shift. With that in mind you might get one h*ll of a snap. Keep in mind I am not a lexus mechanic but I have done alot of research on this matter.
