^^Thank you, the proof is in the pudding! Even a crappy photo of the manifold would suffice.

Its BS in the first place, I dont think any shop WOULD do a custom turbo setup in 3days! Its possible but they're not going to do it IMHO

What a bunch of b/s. This Frank!! guy, you're being called out. I have personal experience having my cars custom turboed when there were no turbo kits out there. There's NO WAY that it's done in 3 day especially on a 2nd Gen IS. What a waste of my time reading through the 6 pages....

It's called TROLLING. Dates way back to the early usenet days. And by the count of it (84 post) he caught a lot of fish.

LOL..the first post was the biggest sign of this b-s. It sounded like he thought of it in the shower and posted it. He didn't even post of how his setup was going to be, whether he's using his 250 engine or a scrap engine, material, and all that junk. CLOSED

Well if Artisan can install twin-turbo in the IS-F then perhaps it will trickle down to the IS350?

Apart from the fact the IS-F starts with a different engine to begin with, did you actually read that article?

It's a custom built motor with aftermarket pistons and rods and running compressed oxygen.

It probably cost as much as a cheaper IS does.
