Hey everyone. New here but not new to cars. Big into drag racing and my current project is an 03 IS300. This is my 2nd turbo setup on it. The old setup was good for daily driving, 350+whp and 330tq and got me to the low 13s, high 12s. New setup, I'm looking to go faster but who knows how it will play out.

-Built 3.0 GTE block
-GE head
-AEM
-Boost Logic custom turbo using a Greddy T88-38gk: ported compressor housing, .96a/r exhaust
-TH400 reverse pattern with trans-brake
-Supra TT rear-end

The car has been getting worked on since August. Hopefully it will get finished up soon (not really useful because I will tow it to my garage where it will sit till winter is over).

Anyway, here are some pictures of the car. I'm going back to stock body too. I still need to fix the holes from the WALD flares I used to have:


4" exhaust



small Precision 67mm...I needed bigger
