Default Is 2 M3

I'm lookin into getting an M3. HOwever, i luv the IS, and was maybe thinking of sticking a Turbo in it? I know some peeps on ClubLexus have turbos in them, i've seen them, but its hard to find w/ all the posts and such. If u have a turbo'd IS or Supercharged could you plz PM me or email me or AIM chat. Anyone w/ any advice or what things to do to make an IS hang w/ an m3's speed..plz help me out!!!! thnx.

if you're looking for pure speed save your money and get a camaro... nothing has near the bang for the buck in the speed dept.

Come over to http://www.is300forum.com where most of the is300.net refugees hang out. There is a TON of info there compared to here...
Look to spend $10k+ to get a good turbo mod done... But since you're in irvine, why not check out Area51? THey've got a basic supercharger for ~$5k

Will Area 51 sell the Stage I kit through the mail or does it have to be done in-house?

im sure they can send it to you. But you need to find a person to install it. It would be best for them to install it because the they can tune it the best for you where you get the most power while still running perfectly.
